I’m not disagreeing with you! I was passing every practice test I did. I got asked questions that never appeared on the randomized tests I was doing through the testing app. We’ll see how the next one is!

I will definitely check out YouTube videos for the next test prep, thank you! 

There's also official PDF:

Thank you so much!

I did the full 100, and got 10 wrong. So I just got very unlucky with the questions they chose for me. The YouTube video is definitely the way to go over the study app because some of these questions I never saw so that’s my own mistake! Thanks for your help

There's this blonde lady (Legally Blonde lol?) on YouTube, not sharing her channel name here. She does a good job going through questions. But there's few questions which depend on where you live, like naming your representative etc. Make sure you study those too!

For me, the best way to learn was through YouTube videos. I was answering 100% correctly every single time before going to the interview. 

Indeed, I used YouTube, I would play the 100 questions videos for at least an hour a day and whenever I had some downtime I would use the USCIS app as a refresher.

I got naturalized in Houston today. Took me only from April till today.  Very smooth process overall.

Yes sir. I will wait the 10 days but will probably schedule an appointment already.

Posting my case information.

Considering you filed at end of April, it's nothing to worry about yet. Which field office?

[indie21 1]

My field office is Denver,CO.

 

I wasn't sure how to reply to the question.

According to https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

 

current processing time for Denver, CO is 8 months.

 

It's fair to say, interview before Jan 2026 is fast (considering holidays etc)

We are on the same boat. I filed mine 4/30/25 based on 5 years. Received biometrics reused same day and haven’t heard anything back since.

Good morning from California!

 

My husband attended his naturalization interview today at the Sacramento field office.  We weren't sure if the office was going to be open or if his appointment was still valid given the government shutdown, but we arrived 30 minutes before the appointment, and everything seemed business as usual.  Check-in was smooth, and we only waited maybe 15-20 minutes before being called.  

 

I'm so happy to say my husband passed his interview!!!!  He was called at 8:43am and was finished by 8:49am.  A few minutes later, he got the MyUSCIS email notification that his case has been updated.  An hour later, he received another email notice that his oath ceremony has been scheduled for Oct. 15.  We're loving that the final steps are happening quickly.

 

Our timeline:

4/17/2025:  N400 application submitted online, received notice same day that USCIS is able to reuse biometrics

9/17/2025:  Received notice that naturalization interview has been scheduled

10/1/2025:  Attended interview (PASSED!)

10/15/2025:  Oath ceremony

Congrats! This is nice news. Most of USCIS funding comes from fees, so typically they don't close unlike other federal agencies.

Thanks and glad to know that.

I was a little bit concerned about the shut down, thinking that it will affect pending cases and interviews.
