What happens at the citizenship interview?

Last reviewed: January 15, 2025

An officer reviews your application, tests English skills, and asks civics questions. You also confirm your eligibility and background.

You must answer truthfully and bring requested documents to the interview.

Failing to disclose travel or tax issues can cause delays or denial.

Study the civics questions and organize original documents in advance.
