What is the capital of your state?

Accepted USCIS answer

• Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. is not a state and does not have a capital. Residents of U.S. territories should name the capital of the territory.]

This answer can change or depends on where you live. Confirm the right answer close to your interview using USCIS test updates. For a state question, see the state answer helper or Congress.gov's member directory.
