USCIS has implemented a new policy by making nautralization harder, as a result of implementation of executive orders. Some of the important changes include..
- Good Moral Character,
- Unlawful Voting
- False Claim to U.S. Citizenship
USCIS has also provided officers guidance on assessing aliens’ good moral character, looking for positive contributions to American society instead of a mere absence of bad behavior.
USCIS has already announced several changes, including restoring robust vetting for all aliens and stricter reviews of disability exceptions to the English and civics requirements.
The agency is also resuming neighborhood investigations to ensure that aliens meet statutory requirements and are worthy of U.S. citizenship.

- unlawfully registering to vote, and
