What does this answer mean?
This question asks for three national holidays, so name three of the eleven USCIS accepts: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents Day (Washington's Birthday), Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
These are the federal holidays set by law. Some fall on a fixed date: New Year's Day on January 1, Juneteenth on June 19, Independence Day on July 4, Veterans Day on November 11, and Christmas on December 25. Others fall on a set day of the week, such as Washington's Birthday on the third Monday in February and Memorial Day on the last Monday in May. When a holiday falls on a weekend, federal workers usually get the Friday before or the Monday after.
Juneteenth, on June 19, is the newest addition to the list.
Several holidays connect to other questions on the test, including Independence Day, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day.
This is one of the 20 questions on the 65/20 list. An easy set of three is "New Year's Day, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving."
