US Citizenship Prep
Citizenship Interview Guides
Original guides explain the parts of the naturalization interview that applicants most often worry about.
Guide topics
Read about the civics test, reading and writing test, N-400 review, mock interviews, and interview-day documents.
Editorial approach
Each guide focuses on a real preparation task rather than generic keyword summaries.
How the guide library is organized
The guide library is intentionally organized around the parts of the interview that cause the most confusion: civics, English reading and writing, mock interview flow, bilingual preparation, N-400 questions, and interview-day documents. Each guide is meant to answer what to practice, why it matters, and how to use the information during a real appointment.
Why duplicate guide pages were removed
The site now avoids keeping multiple pages with nearly identical checklist or N-400 content. When a broader topic already has a stronger dedicated page, old guide-format duplicates are redirected to the more complete resource so users and crawlers see one clear primary page.
