Has anyone actually bought this kit?

I found the link somewhere in the sticky post.

Just wondering if someone bought it and was it worthwhile. Of if you didn't buy it, did you think it wasn't necessary?

Thanks

I found the N-400 really straight forward, so I personally wouldn't look at any products unless you don't feel comfortable with the form.

Good luck

Thanks!

Can I just ask you something quickly? I read the instructions for the form, and some of the long guide they have, but I'm not seeing anything about providing supporting evidence that we are married (like for the I-751). Do we not need to do that for the n-400? I just want to make sure, so that if we do I start saving things now. Otherwise, I won't worry about it.

Thank you!

If you're familiar with the United States central government system such as the three branches of governance Judicial, Executive, and Legislative you'll be okay.

A majority of the questions for the interview a very simple. They gave me ten questions, but I answered a total of five questions then the official said, " Alright, you know your stuff I don't want to waste any more time. " So, if you have confidence in your ability of knowing important events and people of the US then you'll be all set. If you're unfamiliar, then I'd suggest just picking up a US history book at the library that is geared towards kids. Don't be intimidated because you're reading a kid book. All questions on the exams are really questions used by teachers to test little kids on US history.

So then the list of 100 possible questions I printed off, is not a guaranteed list they go off of? I got the list somewhere in the sticky post. You mean they could really ask anything? Interesting. I took the test myself, and I have lived in Ohio all my life, and minored in history at a very good college. I only got a 44%.

There are thousands of people, if not, millions of people who gets naturalized every year. Ladybug, if you minored in US History in college don't worry about not doing well on the exams from those rip-off websites. This is coming from a 22 year Permanent Resident, and now a Naturalized Citizen. Yes, it took me that long because I didn't really want to shell out the money to file the paperwork.

I didn't study anything for the Interview because when you think about it, those immigrants who turns into citizens and who only went to school for a couple of months; how would they know more US History than you? I hope you see this situation I'm bringing up. And, especially you who minor in US History; how could they know more than you, right?

You can download the new sample questions from the USCIS website.... use those to help you with the test... that is what I will do next year....

The document checklist is in the big guide, p. 51.

http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/M-476.pdf

If you are applying for naturalization on the basis of marriage to a U.S. citizen, send the following four items:

1. Evidence that your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the last three years:

• Birth certificate (if your spouse never lost citizenship since birth), or

• Naturalization certificate, or

• Certificate of Citizenship, or

• The inside of the front cover and signature page of your spouse’s current U.S. passport, or

• Form FS-240, “Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America,” and

2. Your current marriage certificate; and

3. Proof of termination of all prior marriages of your spouse-divorce decree(s), annulment(s), or death certificate(s); and

4. Documents referring to you and your spouse:

• Tax returns, bank accounts, leases, mortgages, or birth certificates of children, or

• Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-certified copies of the income tax forms that you both filed for the past three years, or

• An IRS tax return transcript for the last three years.

I'm not the one taking the test (see my signature, and I also mentioned that in one of these posts), my husband is. I just don't think he knows the three forms of US government or who the Speaker of the House is, etc. (He's only lived here 2.5 years) He will study though.

I would not waste any more money on the naturalization process other than paying the application feeS. The forms are extremely straightforward (I was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was compared to everything else I went through with INS). Every question and every answer your husband needs to know is posted on the CIS website. There are no tricky questions. I did not study for the test until the day of my departure for the interview and did not miss a single question asked. If your husband lived here for a while, chances are he knows answers to 80% of the questions already. The test is somewhat difficult for those who do not speak English very well. Otherwise, it's a piece of cake. It took about 10 minutes for my whole interview.

That's funny, I've given a lot of my friends the test and they can't answer most of them. Everyone tells me I know more about the US then they do now because of it...

Yep like I said before I took it and only got a 44% (and I'm not stupid, I'm in grad school!). There's no way my husband knows 80% of it, but he will study.
