If you are unemployed long-term, will the interviewer ask how you supported yourself?

[icar 1]

I've heard people say that it's not necessary to have a job to become a citizen. However, what happens if you've been unemployed long-term and you are not collecting unemployment compensation? Would the interviewer ask you how you supported your self?

In my case, I've been unemployed for over a year, and I don't go attend a school. My parents have helped me out. I requested a document from the IRS showing that I was not required to file taxes because I had no income. Can I just present that document to the interviewer?

Nope, having a job is not required for naturalization.

on a side note.. unemployment is not a means tested public benefit it is an employee paid insurance program.. if you can use it go ahead
