If a person is married but never took the USA citizenship test do that still make them a US citizen?
No, they were never a citizen; marriage to a US citizen does not automatically make you a citizen. Marriage to a US citizen allows you the a reason to apply citizenship; of which the test is a part of the process. The USA citizenship test is only one of the steps to becoming a citizen; it does not grant you citizenship if you pass it. You still have to apply for citizenship and get through the process.If you want to become a citizen and have been married and never applied for citizenship, then all you have to do now is apply. There is no requirement for you to become a citizen, just because you are married to a citizen. You never have to apply if you don't want to become a citizen. No one will force you to become a citizen just because you are married to a citizen; it is totally a voluntary process. So, if you are concerned that you've been married for 25 years or whatever and you never bothered to apply for citizenship, and now you've decidecd you want to become a citizen, don't worry there is no penalty to wating this long. it has no barring upon your status; its not illegal or anything.
