Naturalization in 2026: N-400 Checklist and Interview Preparation

Applying for citizenship requires more than completing Form N-400. Applicants should review travel history, tax compliance, selective service issues, and any prior criminal or immigration incidents.

Before filing, gather green card copies, marital documents when relevant, and records supporting continuous residence and physical presence.

Interview preparation should include civics and English practice plus a review of every answer on the N-400 for consistency.
