Frequently asked questions
Which book is right for me?
If you have 2-4 weeks before your interview, choose Pass with Confidence. If your interview is coming up quickly, the Quick Study Edition is designed for a 7-day intensive path to passing.
Do I need both books?
No. They cover the same 128 official USCIS civics questions. The difference is depth and format. Most people choose one based on their timeline.
Does buying a book include access to the app?
No. The books and the CitizenshipShortcut app are independent products. You can use either or both — they complement each other well.
Are the questions in the books the same as in the app?
Yes. Both the books and the app are based on the same official USCIS 128-question civics test bank — the same questions a USCIS officer can ask in your naturalization interview.
Who wrote these books?
Marcus G. Bastawros, MBA — founder of TaxUS Enterprises LLC and creator of the CitizenshipShortcut app. The Immigrant Advancement Series is his effort to make the citizenship process clearer for every immigrant.
Are the books available in languages other than English?
Currently both books are published in English only. The USCIS civics interview is conducted in English, so the books are written to match the actual test environment.
