Congrats! We are almost there. Where do you get material for civics and writing? Do you get them online?

Hi! Download the app called Citizen Now. Very helpful to study and practicing!

Similar situation but it was not the interview, it was the oath ceremony that was scheduled and canceled right away. I posted the question in some forum were lawyers answer and they said it was normal that they schedule and cancel interviews and ceremonies.

Yep, six days later they rescheduled the interview for one day later than the original date.

Good day everyone, my wife just received her interview letter for her n400 application which we filed for on our 3 yr anniversary(march 2022) at the san diego field office. We already applied for i751(march 2021) before, but as of today, it's still showing "case ready to be scheduled for interview". Will this be a combo interview? Would like any response and also if there's anyone here familiar with the san diego field office. Do they do name change and oath ceremony the same day as interview? thanks a lot.

I am!! I am!!

but I saw this in the notification

"If you filed your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, on or after Dec. 1, 2020, and are required to take the 2020 version of the civics test, you may now have the option to take the 2008 version of the civics test. To learn if this option is available to you, visit the USCIS Citizenship Resource Center at uscis.gov/citizenship/2020test."

 

I filed March 2022, so do I test 2018 or 2020?!!

If you filed your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, on or after December 1, 2020, and before March 1, 2021, and were scheduled for your initial examination (interview) before April 19, 2021, you may choose to take the 2008 or 2020 civics test as you go through the naturalization process. All others will be required to take the 2008 civics test.
 

 

looks like we gonna have to take the 2020 but the only difference I see in both instead of listing three ud have to list 5… like for example list three of the original states it may ask to list five instead

You will have the 2008 test.  Just had my interview 3 weeks ago. 
as per uscis👉

“Applicants who filed their application for naturalization on or after Dec. 1, 2020, and before March 1, 2021, likely have been studying for the 2020 test; therefore, USCIS will give these applicants the option to take either the 2020 civics test or the 2008 civics test. There will be a transition period where both tests are being offered. The 2020 test will be phased out on April 19, 2021, for initial test takers. Applicants filing on or after March 1, 2021, will take the 2008 civics test.

The previous user parsha posted information from the uscis website and I copied and pasted. So while the uscis website provides conflicting information the only difference between the two is being able to give five examples instead of three. They are the same questions.

My bad i'm still confused of the reply buttom in this forum lol.  Oh okay i didn't know 2020 test will ask more examples. Some officers don't even complete the 6 questions.  My own brother who got interviewed same day as me was only askes 3 question.  Even my officer told me to write "Washington is the capital" . I'm like what ? . Lol. March filers we got this almost end of our immigration journey 👍

The questions arent different, they are pretty repetitive. 

 

Those people that only got 6 questions is because they were tested based on the previous rule out of 10.. and if you get your first six questions right they dont need to continue testing.

 

But i dont know about being asked only 3 questions.

 

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

 

I stand corrected. I just went on the USCIS Site myself and saw this:

If you filed your Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, on or after December 1, 2020, and before March 1, 2021, and were scheduled for your initial examination (interview) before April 19, 2021, you may choose to take the 2008 or 2020 civics test as you go through the naturalization process. All others will be required to take the 2008 civics test. 

 

So anyone that has filed between december 2020 and march 2021 and was scheduled for an interview before april 19th 2021 has a choiceeeeeeee OF WHICH TEST.

 

SO ALL OF US we dont have a choice and will be required to take the 2008 version.
