Hello everyone!

Did you guys submit your tax returns when you filed online? If so, was it just first page or all of them? And past 3 years?

Thanks

Could somebody who already had their interview confirm -: 1) when taking civics test, does officer give four options or only question? 2) if we get options, does our answer have to be from the options? Or we can just give correct answer even if our answer is not in the options. For example- which state borders mexico..let us say, in options, arizona is given but i say new mexico..is it allowed?

It is not a multiple choice test. No options are given - they ask a question, and you give one of the valid responses. 

 

From USCIS: The actual civics test is NOT a multiple choice test. During the naturalization interview, a USCIS officer will ask you up to 10 questions from the list of 100 questions in English. You must answer correctly 6 of the 10 questions to pass the civics test.

An agency or pay for expedited service but I think that's taking 6 to 8 weeks for an expedite, you'll have to check that out!

You can jus answer one of the right answer, In fact when I tried to give multiple answers IO said one is good.

Basically you can pay like 60$ extra for expedited service which still can take a couple of months (this is not taking into account that you need to book an appointment with USPS like a month in advance) or try to do the emergency one if it's 2 weeks before you need to travel.

This is correct only one answer is sufficient, provided it's a right answer!

Call DoS and see if they will book you in.  I have urgent travel for work and my appointment is Monday.  I naturalized on the 27th, called the 28th and that's when they booked me for.
