What questions does USCIS ask at the naturalization (N-400) interview?

The naturalization interview covers a few distinct areas, and it helps to know the shape of it ahead of time.

• Your N-400 application itself — the officer will go through your form and confirm details like your name, date of birth, marital history, children, and current and past addresses
• Your immigration and travel history — including how you obtained your green card, and every trip you've taken outside the U.S. since then
• Good moral character — questions about any legal issues, tax history, or Selective Service registration if applicable
• The civics and English test — you'll be tested on U.S. history and government (studying the official 100 civics questions is the standard prep), and your ability to read, write, and speak basic English

Bring your green card, a valid ID, and any documents the interview notice specifically asks for. Answer honestly and directly — if you don't understand or don't remember something, say so rather than guessing.
