Finally, after 12 months of waiting, my naturalization interview has been scheduled for August. I filed on the basis of 5 year GC, and I am preparing a shitton of documents to bring there: paychecks, rent contracts, bank statements, tax returns, proof that I changed employer but ended up doing same tasks and same pay, ... I wanted to ask: if you’ve gone through the process yourself, what documents or weird questions did they ask you? Thanks

12 months to get naturalization interview?? Wtf 😳😳
Yeah man, SF is super backlogged
So should we try to book an appt a year before?
2 hards and a medium.
They used to ask questions on US history, politics and English speaking skills.
Learn 100 civic questions and you are good to go.
They have a booklet that lists all of the civic and history questions that they will ask you (they will ask you 10 out of 100 possible questions). Get a copy of the booklet, or you can find the PDF here: https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/USCIS/Office%20of%20Citizenship/Citizenship%20Resource%20Center%20Site/Publications/PDFs/M-638_red.pdf?download=1 The USCIS site also has videos that walk you through the process and what to expect: https://youtu.be/SDb9_CqPUTQ The documents should already be filed with your N400 form. At the interview they’ll just ask you questions about what you put on the form. These questions are to validate that you can understand and speak English and to confirm the information that you have already submitted.
Make sure you study the leadership principles.
I know this isn’t what you asked, but congrats on approaching the end of a challenging and long process OP. I dog on illegal immigrants a lot, but in my book, legal ones are ALWAYS welcome here. Welcome home. 🇺🇸
Thanks. It took 10 years of visas: 1 year of J1, 3 years of H1B, 5 years of GC, and 1 year of GC + waiting for citizenship interview. I realize that most immigrants actually have it worse than me (especially Indians), but that was still a very long time.
Agreed, and I’d love to see legislation making it easier and faster for highly skilled people to achieve residency (and ultimately citizenship) legally. I hope we’ll get there eventually.
Congrats OP. What documents are you taking to prove that the 2 jobs are similar?
Mostly the 2 offer letters showing that the role is the same.
I'm about to start the process in a few months. Just curious why it matters that the roles were the same
They asked me nothing other than information on travel since I applied . I just handed over a copy of my update I94 travel record . I had a parking ticket and an amended tax return and mentioned both but was waved away when I offered documentation . In and out in about 20 mins, most of it spent waiting quietly as they completed everything , approved me and queued me for the oath ceremony .
Thanks! I hope mine is going to be just like yours!
