Cloud Gate reacted to Boiler in Applying for B2 Tourist Visa for parent and sibling but sponsor is unemployed
Very generous of your Husband to pick up the costs but to maximise their chances of getting a B I would forget about him as it would just complicate matters.

B-2 visas don’t have sponsors. So no.
You wrote that your husband is paying. So tell the truth.
Are you a US citizen?

Cloud Gate reacted to CNMN in 2020/ 21- US Passport & Card Application-Tracker
Today i finally received my NC Intact! 36 days after receiving passport and passport card. It was shipped first class mail and postmarked March 21, it took about a week to get here. Now what i can't understand is why they held it for 30 days to send it back to me, they must be really backed up on that or they forgot to bring it to the Post Office. For reference i uploaded pictures of the envelope that it came in.

Not at all.
To be honest, your question confuses me because you’re the third person that asked this question. No where have I seen that I would be asked about vocabulary or definition.
Could it be that I am very fluent in English? And that would be why I wasn’t asked?

Update:
i had my interview today at 101 W Ida B Wells drive building and left with N-642 form that stated that I passed the civics test and "Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval". i was told that I should be receiving a letter from USCIS within 30 days.
When I got home, I checked on USCIS site and it showed that my status was updated with "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled" notice and that I should expect the letter to be sent within 30 days.
Almost there....

Update:
Just came back from my interview today. The officer handling the interview was very friendly and talkative after we got into his office.
First thing he asked for was for my passport and green card. Then he took a photo and fingerprint to verify my identity. Then he asked me to verify my information (full name, date of birth, and weight). Asked me if I've travelled anywhere recently (I last travelled to Puerto Rico just before the start of the pandemic last year).
He looked at my files and talked about my application. He joked that I was using my wife's discount to apply for naturalization (3 years mark) so I didn't have wait for 5 years.
Then we proceeded with the civics questions:
When is the last day you can send in federal income tax forms? What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful? Who signs bills to become laws? We elect a President for how many years? There were 13 original states. Name three When was the declaration of Independence adopted? He stopped after 6 since I answered all correctly and asked me to read the written question: Where is the "White House located". Next, he cleared the iPad and showed a blank screen with paper lines and asked me to write the answer to that question and he dictated "The White House is located in Washington, D.C." He didn't give the punctuations, but that's what I put down and he was very impressed.
Last, he asked all the yes/no qualification questions.
After that iPad screen showed my name, DOB, etc and if I wanted to change my name. I answered No and signed on the iPad.
The iPad cleared again and then it showed the Naturalization Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America and I signed on the iPad.
Last he did ask if I had any new documents that I wanted to update (he didn't ask for anything specific). I was prepared and gave him an updated tax transcript, updated bank account statement, beneficiary statement, and most recent utilities bills.
He explained that I had passed and gave me N-642 form that stated that I passed the civics test and "Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval". That I should be receiving a letter from USCIS within 30 days.
We got home and just as I was writing this update, I checked on USCIS site and it showed that my status was updated with "Oath Ceremony Will Be Scheduled" notice and that I should expect the letter to be sent within 30 days.
Almost there....

USPS just notified me that there was a mail coming from USCIS.
I logged in to USCIS website and it showed that the interview schedule mail was being sent out.
I don't have the mail yet so I don't know when my interview date is. I'll post an update later when I get my mail.

No but the interviewer did comment on my English proficiency, he was suprised by it. I was the 1st person he had interviewed from my country. Told him that we were an ex british colony until the 60's, we all spoke English by age 3 amongst 2 other languages.
Maybe they are told to gauge a person's English proficiency, not just through the reading and writing questions but also as they are being interviewed. Who knows.

My husband was not asked any word definitions in the interview.

Cloud Gate reacted to Fahad86 in Chicago N400 filers
No definition were asked. The whole interview lasted 15 mins. My interviewer was a nice lady, she just asked all the questions from N400. Make sure to review the n400 form before interview.
