Just wanted to thank everyone and esp. Mike E for all your support and help. And wanted to update all that had my interview yesterday and was approved! Cheers. All the best.

Thank you. Cheers Ah. Thank you so much for clarifying that. Cheers. Thats assuring to hear:) thank you. Cheers

Thank you so so much for your wishes. And your response. I know employment is not required for naturalization but per my understanding, its unfavorable if they deem someone a potential/future burden on the govt. & system or public charge. I want to avoid any unnecessary difficulties and delays in my naturalization process.

Thanks Mike.

Hi, I filed N-400 online on USCIS website and my naturalization interview is this Monday, April 17th Quick background: - I've had a major health issue/condition since late 2019 coinciding with my move to Virginia, and have been unable to work full-time since. There is no definite diagnosis yet and still undergoing more medical examinations. Thankfully the condition is under control with current medications and I am in the market for full-time employment now. - During the pandemic I kept myself as productive as possible with personal development (public speaking club, writing), creative (dance/music group, charcoal art), mentoring with organizations, experimenting with my entrepreneurship ideas, executive education certificates / online course, and also worked in limited capacity with a startup (strategy / advisory) without pay. - I have self sustained financially throughout comfortably and will be able to continue to do so, but for health insurance I am on medicaid. I have filed tax return every year. Questions: 1. How do I tackle employment related questions? 2. Should I mention anything regarding my medical issues? (I do not want to be considered a potential public charge etc. ) Any insight / advice re: interview and possible concerns and how to navigate the interview smoothly will be greatly appreciated! Thank you:)

Thank you so much everyone for your answers and help! Cheers!

Hi, I applied online for N-400 & my naturalization interview is on Monday, 17th April : Q.1. For the interview I will carry all documents listed in USCIS Interview Notice and, uploaded online with my N-400 submission. Should I carry any additional evidence / USA documents prior to the last 5 years? (e.g. employment record or ties to USA earlier than the previous 5 years) ? Thanks!
