Bring

- My copy of the N-400 I filed
- Proof of anything new since I filed (new address, marriage, child, trip, ticket)
- My interpreter, only if I qualify to test in my language, with their government ID
Before I leave home
- I read my whole N-400 again.
- I practiced the civics questions out loud for the test I take (2008 or 2025).
- I practiced reading and writing the vocabulary words.
- I know the address and allowed time to get there early.
What I can say if I need to
- "Could you please repeat the question?"
- "Could you please say that more slowly?"
- "I don't understand that word. Could you say it another way?"
- "I don't remember the exact date. It was about ________."
- "I would like my lawyer to be here. Can we reschedule?"
Before I leave the interview
- I got my written result.
- If my case was continued, I know what to send and by when.
- If I was denied, I will call a free clinic today. The N-336 deadline is 30 days (33 if mailed).
