My wife is applying for the US citizenship on the basis of the
five-year residency requirement. I am  a US citizen and my wife
obtained her  US lawful permanent resident status via our marriage
8 years ago. She is very nervous about the naturalization interview and wants me
to support her during the interview. She speaks good
English, but  English is not her first language and she is
afraid to get confused, misunderstand something under stress
and, as a result,  give a wrong answer.We understand that, certainly,
she needs to answer all standard questions on N-400 form, all
questions on  English and civics tests by  herself.

 

Could she bring me to the room where the interview takes
place? If so, could I help her with some additional questions (besides
the ones in N-400, English and Civics tests) the officer may ask her?

Did someone accompany his/her spouse to the interview room?

No, you can’t go in. You can sit in the waiting room and wait for her but she’ll be doing interview on her own. If she needs an interpreter she should arrange for one.

She will be fine as long as she speaks "good" English and can answer basic questions about her file--and the civics questions. The English language test is quite simple. Joan had to write a simple sentence and read/answer it. There is a great video on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGqFdNBCmp8) that might put her mind at ease. Good luck!
