Every naturalization goes through four stages.

  1. Application

    You send Form N-400 to USCIS.

  2. Biometrics

    Fingerprints and a photo at a service center.

  3. Interview

    Questions about your application, civics, reading and writing.

  4. Oath

    The ceremony where you become a citizen.

The test, the way it happens.

The officer asks up to 20 civics questions and stops once you get 12 right. If you filed before October 20, 2025, you take the 100-question test: up to 10 questions, 6 to pass.

The whole interview, not just the quiz.

About 8 minutes in four phases, with a virtual officer who asks about your own Form N-400. An example:

  1. Officer

    Good morning. How was the drive in?

  2. You

    Good morning. It was easy, about twenty minutes.

  3. Officer

    You moved to Colorado in 2021. What brought you here?

  4. You

    My partner had a job opportunity, and we wanted to be near the mountains.
