Most likely not!! At the interview they Will ask about ur travels. I went back to canada for like a month after I submitted my N400. The interview asked if I had travled, i said yes, a month in Canada, and that was it! Was not a problem

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

I plan to go abroad for a week before the citizenship interview. Since I did not list this travel on N400 form, could there be any issues?

you will update for any post filing travel at the interview

YMMV

Just bring your passport to prove the trip.

As long as it doesn't break the condition for N400 application, you will be fine.

I traveled internationally three times between sending in my N-400 and the interview date. The IO asked me if I had traveled, and noted the dates on my application. It was not a problem at all. I had 7 trips listed on my application, so, 10 trips in total. I was not asked for my passport to confirm dates, though, I know many others have.

As long as that week doesn't cause problems with your eligibility (exceeding no. of days outside USA), it will be fine.
