U.S Citizenship Interview Questions: This guide is to prepare you with the important questions on the day of your naturalization interview. These questions may be asked in different ways, so this guide will help you get ready to be approved, moved, and become an American citizen.
A large part of the nationalization interview involves reviewing your Form N-400 application. They will ask you questions about the information that you gave on your form. They will also review the documents you have submitted to them with your form.
When reviewing your Form N-400, they are testing your ability to speak and understand the English language, which is a requirement for naturalization. If you do not understand a question, ask them to repeat the question or explain the question using other words.
At any time during your interview, it is fine for you to ask the officer at your interview to repeat a question.
Try to practice and answer these questions that could be asked during your interview. Make sure you read this guide to the last part, because the more you learn, the higher your chances in passing your interview and tests for U.S Citizenship.
