Choose the correctly spelled month: Independence Day is in ____.

JULY is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under MONTHS. The correct spelling is 'J-U-L-Y.' A common dictation sentence is 'Independence Day is in July.' The writing vocabulary includes the months that appear in holiday-related dictation sentences, such as February (Presidents' Day), May (Memorial Day), June (Flag Day), July (Independence Day), September (Labor Day), October (Columbus Day), and November (Thanksgiving). On the writing test, the applicant writes one dictated sentence correctly out of up to three, so practicing month spellings tied to holidays is useful preparation.
