Update on my interview: 

 

Interview was from 7:45am to 8:10am. Officer started with Civic Test asked:

- What is one thing Benjamin Franklin is famous for?
- What is the economic system in the United States?
- What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?
- When do we celebrate Independence Day?
- What is one reason colonists came to America?
- What is the capital of your state?

 

Then asked me to read a sentence on an iPad "What do we pay to the government?". Asked me to write on an iPad "We pay taxes."

Then after he verified information on my N-400 Application and then asked the Page 12 yes and no questions. The only extra question he asked was "What does the Oath of Allegiance mean?"

Then he Congratulated me that I've passed the interview and told me I should be receiving a letter in the mail within one to two weeks with my Oath Ceremony date and location. 

 

My online case states this now:

August 12, 2021 We recommended that your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, be approved. Your case was submitted for quality review.

August 12, 2021 Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled

 

Good Luck everyone.

How often will they actually ask you the meaning of a term in one of the application questions? Like they do in this video:

 

 

On my interview the only extra question I would say they asked on the Have you ever questions was What does the Oath of Allegiance mean?

Does anyone know if you can send a certified copy of your Naturalization Certificate to apply for a passport or it must be the original? Thanks

A few questions for those who have recently interviewed:

1. I read they use a tablet/iPad for reading/writing component. Do you have to type for the written or do they give you a stylus? Can you ask for pen/paper (asking for my mom…she makes tons of typos on her iPad)

2. For reading/writing did they only ask from them USCIS vocabulary list or could it be anything ftom

the application? 
3. do they fault you for spelling errors in the writing test?

 

thank you!!

 

1. They had an iPad and a pen to write on the iPad screen. You can ask for a pen and paper max. they can say is no. 

2. They asked me to read "What do we pay to the government?" and to write "We pay taxes."

3. I believe they do but I am not 100% sure.

It is fraud to enter the US on a tourist visa with intent to stay and adjust status.  Don't do this.

 

File I-130 for your parents.  They can do short visits to the US during the process but they must return to their country after every visit.

 

Thank you for your help. 🙂

My parents have tourist visa. What would be the correct way to bring them to the US?

Should I apply I-130 for each one of them while they wait in their country or can they fly and enter as a tourist in the US and then apply for a I-485 at the same time for a I-130 while staying in the US?

Thank you
