Question 33: Who does a member of the House of Representatives represent?
Official answers (any one counts)
USCIS accepts any of these answers. If the question asks for more than one, give as many as it asks.
- Citizens in their (congressional) district
- Citizens in their district
- People from their (congressional) district
- People in their district
Grandpa explains
Each state is split into districts, and each representative speaks for the people of their district, kiddo.

These are the common mix-ups. The app uses them as traps so you practice.
