What happens if you fail two citizenship interviews?

[gerewolf 0]

Hi,

My wife has filed for US citizenship. She has had permanent resident status for four years. I understand that each person has two chances to take the interview and tests. I have two questions. If a person fails both interviews, what happens? Can a person apply again? Do they have to pay the application fee? Do you know what percentage of people pass or fail both interviews? Or does everybody pass the second interview? Thanks.

I don't know if they deny the application or not but if they did deny it you can file again and yes you have to pay again. The good news part is the test is easy easy easy. She quill pass from the first time as long as she memorizes the question. She has to get 6 questions right out of 10. Usually people pass from the first time. You might have a second interview only if your English is sooooooo bad ( I doubt that) good luck

If you fail the first time …you will be sent away to study and can take the test free the second time …
If you fail again you have to reapply and pay again …

It depends on why you did not pass. If you fail the English language or the Government History examination the first time you will be rescheduled for an interview at least 90 days later and given the opportunity to do it again. If you fail it again that time, your application will be denied. You would then have to re-file and pay the fee again if you wish to apply.

Try again and pay again. There is no limit to how many times you can take the test. Good luck!
