Initial Interview for Citizenship

[MET2007 0]

Hi everyone,

I got an initial interview very soon for citizenship, I wanted to ask couple of questions if anyone would know the answer to them.

Do I only know the questions and answers in the civics booklet, or do i have to also know everything written in the explaination below?

For the English exam, what should i expect?

After the interview, whats next?

Thank you everyone for your help and time.

Note: I haven't had my interview yet, but it also is soon. This is just what I've gathered from other people's experiences of their own interviews.

You can practice your civics test using this site: http://amaruk.atspace.com/tests/NewCivicsTest.html -- the answers there are the ones considered acceptable by USCIS adjudicators.

The English exam is the simplest thing ever. You will have to read a question out loud (e.g. "who was the first president?") then write down the answer ("George Washington").

After the interview, I think they hand you a paper saying whether you passed or not, and if you did, you can expect to be scheduled for an oath ceremony at some point afterward. How soon depends on how your local office handles that part.

It truly is one of the easiest tests you'll ever take. You appear to read and write English beautifully already and the 10 questions will come from the pool of 100 in the booklet. If you get the first 6 correct, they stop there and don't ask any more.

You'll be fine

And, my spouse won't be able to come with me to the interview, couldn't take the day off work. is that going to be a problem?

This is your interview. He would not be allowed inside the interview room anyway.

You will need to confirm the answers you gave on the application, answer civics questions about the US government, history, etc. and you will need to read one sentence and write one sentence.

Exactly, if you studied the 100 questions and answers from the booklet, you have nothing to worry about. The English Test question I had to read was "Who can vote?" and than I was told to write down the answer (it was dictated to me) "Citizens can vote". Almost laughable...

After the Civic (6 easy questions from the booklet) and English test the Immigration Officer went through the N-400 form questions as well.... just to check if the info there was correct.

The "new" citizenship test is designed so that a retarded monkey can pass it, easily. That may sound like an exageration, but it's in fact not that far from the truth. You'll order the 100 cards and take 'em with you to your bathroom. You then try to answer all 100 in one run. Unless you are . . . um . . . special, you'll probably get close to half of those questions right, the very first time, without having even looked at them first. Put them on one stack and put that stack away.

The remaining cards you will put in another stack and try to answer them every time you are in your bathroom again, sitting down and doing your thing. If you make a mistake, read the correct answers and put the card back in the stack. If you get the question right, put it in the "other" stack of questions you already answered correctly.

Within a few days you'll have answered probably 90+ questions correctly. The remaining ones you have to memorize, because the correct answers are wrong. So they were made by retards for retards, which is why intelligent people can't answer them correcly unless they study the incorrect answers and memorize them as being what they need to hear.

So don't worry, you'll pass easily. I know that purely based on your post alone. That being said, it's a good thing to understand the basics of American history. The fight against the Brits, the Declaration of Independence, the 13 colonies, and all the stuff conneted to it. There are some great DVD sets out there that you can rent. Knowing this stuff goes beyond becoming an American. It's something you need to know if you are an American living in America.
