No they didn't. It was just repeating some questions from the N400 application. Everything you need for the N400 test is at your local library via the US Citizenship guide handbook. You do NOT need to pay extra or anything.

Yes! Sorry I mixed up the two.

Hi everyone, I had my N-400 interview today at the Santa Clara field office and I’m so happy to report it went well ✅ The female officer who interviewed me was incredibly kind, polite, and patient, even though I brought my 10-month-old infant son with me. She made me feel comfortable throughout the process, which really eased my nerves. I also brought my immigration lawyer, the same one who helped us with our K-1 visa when I first entered the U.S. It felt reassuring to have him there, even though the interview itself was straightforward. Another thing to note: my N-400 interview was combined with the Adjustment of Status interview. Santa Clara does this sometimes, so if you’re in that situation, don’t be surprised. For the civics test, here are the questions I got: What territory did the United States buy from France in 1803? → I mistakenly said Alaska, but the correct answer is Louisiana. What is the rule of law? → Correct answer: Everyone must follow the law (I answered “The Constitution”). What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution? → The Bill of Rights What is freedom of religion? → To practice any religion (or no religion) We elect a U.S. Representative for how many years? → 2 years What is the highest court in the United States? → The Supreme Court What is the capital of the United States? → Washington, D.C. What did Martin Luther King Jr. do? → Fought for civil rights I highly recommend using the USCIS Citizenship study guide. All the questions come from there, no surprises. You can usually borrow it from your local library if you don’t want to buy one. ✨ Other notes from Santa Clara: They do same-day oath ceremonies, but the cut-off is 1:30 pm. Since my interview was later, I couldn’t do it the same day. I tried to reschedule my oath from early September to late August, but the officer explained that everything is booked. A new change: family members can no longer attend the oath ceremony. It’s no longer held outdoors in a “drive-through” or parking lot style, now only applicants go inside. ✅ Overall takeaways: Don’t panic if you miss one civics question — you can be asked up to 10 but only need 6 correct. Review your N-400 form carefully since they will confirm details. A kind officer makes all the difference, and yes, bringing my baby turned out fine. Having my lawyer there gave me extra peace of mind. Santa Clara is efficient, but plan your interview time if you’re hoping for same-day oath. Definitely, borrow the study guide from your local library, it’s all you need. I left feeling so relieved and grateful. Good luck to everyone with upcoming interviews, you’ve got this! 💪🇺🇸

It's so frustrating. I was hoping to get naturalized before my birthday but looks like it's going to take some time. I had some travel plans too. Oh well Hang in there! Oh and some bad news, our oath ceremony will be in the parking lot since this admin did not renew their contract with the local theater.

Am I in limbo then? Just wondering why it's taking so long.

Hi everyone, I am back on this forum after an year so please bear with me. I have a pending I-751 so, my biometrics was reused. My N-400 progress went from a week to "Your case is taking longer than we previously estimated, but it is within normal processing times." It's been stuck there for the past few weeks. Has anyone had the same issue? Mine is a K1 based visa.
