Wife did it without the interview. It was quick and painless for her. Make sure you can pass the civics test, and don't have a problem reading out loud and writing simple English sentences. Unless you have some unusual issues, there really is no need to pay for an attorney. Most of the people we saw with attorneys appeared to have some difficulty with English.

Fixed. I need to learn my native language a litter better.

The N400 interview is straight forward and you really do not need an attorney for it. All you need to do is make sure all your paperwork is organized and you know what you filled in the forms. Also memorize the civics questions and you will be good...having an attorney for this is a waste of money (attorney fee) that you could use elsewhere. So long us there is nothing you are hiding on your application you will be good. Best of luck...once you are done you will be surprised how easy it is.

Thank you guys. I do not have any problem with English. It is the anxiety because I just came across few horrible interview stories.

Thanks again
