How about the written test they pick same words from the uscis practice list ? Or they can ask u outside words also

Also I read if the spelling is a minor mistake as long u can understand the meaning u pass it ?

First I want to thank ptm897 for the input. Very helpful. I would like to piggyback on Yuda's question and ask a similar one: Minor grammatical errors are OK wen answering the questions, correct? For example "The War IN 1812" instead of "The War OF 1812"

Hi Stevephoto, minor spelling/grammatical errors are OK as long as it doesn't change the meaning of the sentence and for spelling mistakes, they are also OK as long as when the Officer looks at the sentence it looks like English and they are able to make out what the sentence says, so minor spelling mistakes are not supposed to count against the applicant.    For the example that you have shown here, that would be acceptable because the spelling/grammar error does not change the meaning of the sentence.

Perfect. Thanks. Her responses are correct, just not "perfect" structurally--but not enough to change the meaning of what she said. I am really overthinking this last phase! I appreciate your experience and comments greatly. Salamat!

 

(HA--speaking of typos....nice one in my original question!)

when applying to N-400 ,naturalization under VAWA,what documents you need to add to your application?Do you need to send 2 photos?if u get fingerprint can you do it earlier than the day specified on the letter?

Please do not post the same question in multiple threads...better yet, start your own thread with your question. I do not know about VAWA, but from what I understand, you apply for naturalization under either the 3-year (married to a USC) rule or the 5-year LPR rule. The photos are now taken at the biometrics appointment. Some offices allow early walk-ins (ours did) if they are not too busy. Good luck.

Congrats, what tool/site did you use to study for the questions?

 

Thanks

Salamat! No special tools, just a lot of repetition and asking the questions i jumbled order. (we got the book from USCIS but the same questions are online somewhere...make sure that the election results are updated)

Hi,

How are you all studying the 100 civics questions? After reading them from top to bottom a few times I got bored... As a result, I created this simple (pure html) quiz tool that I am now using:

http://mysite.verizon.net/amaruk/tests/NewCivicsTest.html

(edited to add: the above link no longer works - use this link instead: http://amaruk.atspace.com/tests/NewCivicsTest.html )

Perhaps you find it useful too. Feedback is very welcome.

(Yes, I know there are other online tools available for this purpose. But I haven't found one that I like)

I am not into que cards but I think that is a great way to study things like this. I might try it one day too.

Cheers and good luck to you all!

Great tool. Thank you for sharing. I have noticed you have the old Speaker of the House. Paul Ryan is the current speaker.
