Thanks so much for your answer !

very helpful !

 

Btw, the civic test is very easy, as long as you spend some time studying the questions. They don't ask you random questions, don't worry. The civic questions are from 100 questions they have in their booklet.

You can see these 100 questions here, https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Office of Citizenship/Citizenship Resource Center Site/Publications/100q.pdf

That's the official study material from USCIS. 

During the interview, you will need to answer 6 questions correctly, you get 10 chances. If you answer 6 correctly, the IO will move on to the nest phase and won't ask you the next 4.

I answered 2 wrong, and it's not a problem.

Do they ask any personal questions ?

So this might depend on each applicant's case. 

I applied under the rule of 3 year marriage to an USC, the IO didn't ask me any personal questions. 

He kinda chit-chatted with me about my history, not sure if this is his way of confirming my story. He asked when I came to the states and which university I went to (I came here for my master's degree). 

And he looked at all of my previous addresses, and asked which city I liked most? (I answered Boston of course lol)

Then, he asked about my husband's occupation. My husband works for a pretty well-known company, so he and I talked a bit on this topic. 

The whole process was quite simple, the IO didn't make me feel like he was "interrogating" me, it's more like we were having a normal conversation.

 

I'm sure everything will go smoothly for you! Don't be like me, I felt like I was having a panic attack when the IO called my name lol.

There are discussion threads where everyone fills out their progress in a table for comparison based on the month you filed, just use the search feature for January 2018 Filers.  I filed in December 2017, so my group is here:

 

Good luck!

Hello ! 

I have my biometrics appointment scheduled for 02/07/18 here in WA State . 

I was wondering how long after the biometrics appointment they will schedule my interview and test . 

I submitted my application and documents on 01/15/18 and took them less than a full week for them to let me me know about my appointment date which I was very surprised. 

What are your experiences with your naturalization process ? 

 

Thanks !

Vanessa

Submitted the N-400 mid-December, then received a biometrics a day after the New Year. Interview scheduled mid-February 2018. Seems very fast. This is a mid-West location.

 

Online seems faster. One point is: They do not notify you of the decisions by email. You have to log in every so often to see the updated. Or wait for the snail mail which takes a good week later to arrive.

I filed online just this past year.

 

All in all, it took 96 days from my filing date to my oath date ---which was super-fast considering I filed in NY which is notorious for being backlogged with applicants.  Best of luck to you!

I filed mine in March 2017 and still in line for interview! It sucks. I should have applied online.
