I had my interview on 2/8/2013 and was little scared about the whole interview thing especially about the Civics Test.

I was finding it difficult to find time to read. Also I thought about 40 questions I already knew by just listening the news and reading online news paper.

It was some questions like ocean on the east etc. which were of concern.

I created this photo [ Attached: US Naturalization imp Question-Desktop background] where i logically tried to have question which are simple but we tend to confuse/forget. I took couple of print outs and kept it several places. [Need not tell which places :)]

I also changed my desktop background to use this image. [being a software Engineer I am around my computer for more than 12 hours a day] so having a look couple of times a day was very helpful.

It helped me [Got first 6 correct] so may be it will work for others too. Good Luck.

You are most welcome.

It just took around 15 minutes.

Started with the test, then my Green card was verified, then review of the application [Do you still stay here, Do you still work here, when did you last go out of States] Last section which has lot of yes/no questions

That's all.

I think I heard someone being sent back because he/she didn't have their birth certificate. [Have your file organized and make sure you carry all the necessary document.]

thank you for your reply, I was wondering if they did the oath for you as well, I know they used to do that, but I am wondering if they still do that..

Wow. Just wow!

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
