I’m aware! But I like to test myself when I see the questions people are asked. I think it’s good (for me) to be exposed to the 100 questions in a variety of ways.

Hi! Can you share your questions? The 6 questions you were asked?

I tried to read the textbook but it is so BORING.... just studying the questions via the handy uscis app... How is your process going? Are you excited for the upcoming interview and is your spouse excited and helping you study?

The questions come from the textbook. So, depending on the type of learner you are you can either study the questions and answers or study the textbook and know the context/ where the answers fit into US history etc…

Interview scheduled October 24 in Troy. My USCIS timeline went from 2 months to decision last week to 4 months. Then I received the email notifying me an action had been taken on my case, Tuesday afternoon. I don't check that email every day so only realized yesterday when I logged in yesterday to check my case status. Question for people applying via the 3 year rule: Should I take my spouse or should he stay home? I don't want him driving out to Troy just to sit in the car...

Do you really think USCIS expects anyone sponsored by someone in the military to reply yes? Do you expect people currently serving or applying for citizenship so they can serve to state yes? Is this a real question or are you being pedantic? If it makes you feel better, you can always answer YES for all three questions and explain your reasoning at your interview. The officer will modify your answer accordingly.

Oh fantastic! When was/ is your 3 year anniversary for GC?

Thanks for sharing @Dovahkiinali0605 It is always interesting to hear when things work out differently to expected. Canadians always seem to have an interesting experience. Living in Detroit I know Canadians dating Americans and they behave in ways other countries could never! This could be an issue years down the road. But, it could really be NBD. Reminds me of the cancelled K1 that was not an issue until citizenship. Anyone have that link?

Be comfortable but presentable. Basically I would think about the photo on your certificate.

Went for my biometrics today. We could only enter 15 minutes before scheduled appointment time. I waited in my car and then went to stand at the door when I saw other people lining up. Was 3rd or 4th to enter. I watched one person go before me and then I was called. The process would have been a lot quicker if I didn't retake my photo 3 times. I didn't realize this photo was going on my naturalization certificate until the person taking my biometrics told me. I look awful in the photo still but I don't care. The woman stated in my second photo I looked "defeated". Only saw 3 people working at the location. One checking people in. One person doing the biometrics and another person in a separate room doing something or other. The woman helping me out said they were not fully staffed today because they didn't have many appointments. The entire process took 15 minutes. I completed the survey after they took my biometrics because I wanted them to know the staff were very friendly and helpful towards me! By the time I left there were approximately 20 people in the office. I am glad I arrived early and entered as soon as I could.

Hello All! I'm ready for the next step in my exciting America life. Applied June 16 (my window opened June 10). Applying under the 3 year rule. Was going to wait for the 5 year rule but everyone encouraged me to apply now. Biometrics appointment set for July 11! I'm thinking my interview will be sometime in March 2026. So, after biometrics I'll forget about everything and just go on with my life. Thought I would post in this thread to see how others are doing... It will be interesting to see the various experiences! Hoping everyones cases go smoothly and as fast or slow as you need it to go!

If OP's spouse is interviewing in Nigeria or Ghana or another country they're looking at another 1-2 years before the interview happens. So, filing the waiver before I-130 was approved/ before DQ was a brilliant strategy! @Uwaila can you confirm the country your partner will interview? If it is a consulate with no backlog you might have to follow @Family's advice... and delay the interview until the waiver is approved. If you are interviewing in Nigeria (as others suspect) then you will want to also check the timeline for DQ to interview for that country as you might be looking at another 2 years before your spouse interviews. Trying to expedite a waiver doesn't make a difference if the interview won't happen for a few more years.
