The questions that depend on where you live
Every applicant takes the same national test. Only a few answers depend on your state or district: the governor, your U.S. senators, your U.S. representative and the capital. For Virginia the capital is Richmond.
Officeholders change. Check the current names on the USCIS test updates page, on senate.gov and on usa.gov before your interview.
