To pass the civics exam you will be asked 10 questions. You have to get six of them right to pass.
How do you prepare? On the USCIS website, under the citizenship section, you can actually find a list of all the questions you could possibly be asked.
The list contains 100 questions. You'll be asked 10 of those and you have to get six out of ten questions right to pass. You should start studying the moment you file your application.
You can download a study guide from the USCIS website and study that from time to time while you wait for your interview date.

You don't have to be perfect in English,
but you do have to be able to have a basic conversation, and that's tested in three ways: reading, writing, and then talking to you during your interview.
Your English does not have to be perfect. Small spelling mistakes are fine.
On the USCIS website, there is a list of reading vocabulary and writing vocabulary that they suggest that you know, and so you can expect that those words will appear on your test.
If you are concerned about your English level, you can enroll in English classes specifically to study for the English portion of your citizenship interview.

Para calificar para una visa E-2, debes demostrar que tienes un negocio real y activo, pero eso no significa que tu negocio tenga que estar abierto.
Definitivamente querrás demostrar que tienes una identificación fiscal federal para tu negocio y una cuenta bancaria comercial. Puedes demostrar que tu negocio es real y activo comprobando que compraste inventario, firmaste un contrato de arrendamiento en una oficina y/o negoció o que firmaste contratos con clientes, proveedores u otros proveedores de servicios. Esas son una gran evidencia de que tu empresa es real y activa y de que estás trabajando para ponerla en funcionamiento.

La visa E-2 es para ciudadanos extranjeros para que vengan, vivan y trabajen en sus negocios en los EE. UU.
Si tu país tiene un tratado que respalda las visas E-2 con los Estados Unidos, puedes solicitar esta visa incluso si tu negocio aún no está abierto, pero debes mostrar evidencia clara de que tu empresa es real
y activa (no solo dinero en una cuenta bancaria) y con esto demostrar que estás trabajando para abrir tu negocio al público.

An E-1 import/export visa might allow
you to come to the United States to live and work here while you run and work on your E-1 business in the United States. That can be really useful because, if you have an import/export business and you're not currently located in the United States, it can be hard to grow this aspect of your business.
So the E-1 visa let's you live in the U.S. and guide the growth of your business from within the country.

The E-1 is a product of treaties.
So to be eligible for an E-1 import/export treaty, your home country has to have a treaty with the United States
that supports these kinds of visas.
Many countries do, including Mexico, Spain, and Canada. If you are from a country that has one of those treaties
then you might be eligible for an E-1 visa if your business does a high volume of
international trade between the United States and your home country.
