US Citizenship Bootcamp

by Jennifer Gagliardi

Overview

US Citizenship Bootcamp
When citizens-to-be prepare for their Citizenship Interview, they usually focus on memorizing the 100 Civics and History questions. However, when they go to the interview, they are often surprised that the USCIS examiner asks 20 to 70 questions from the N-400 Application for Naturalization, and only 6 to 10 Civics questions. Sometimes the USCIS officer checks the applicant's understanding of English by asking for definitions of the terms that appear on the N-400. Furthermore, the applicant is asked to read one sentence and write a sentence dictated by the USCIS examiner.
US Citizenship Bootcamp helps citizens-to-be prepare for the Naturalization interview by completing a series of 10 interviews based on the USCIS N-400 Application for Naturalization (released 03/26/16) and 100 Civics Questions. The first interview pairs 5 basic questions in simple English from the N-400, with 5 USCIS Civics questions. The subsequent interviews expand on these N-400 and Civics questions by gradually introducing new vocabulary and grammar patterns.
In addition to the 10 Citizenship interviews, US Citizenship Bootcamp includes a list of 50 sentences based on the USCIS Reading and Writing Vocabulary, 10 multiple-choice Civics quizzes, and 2 N-400 vocabulary glossaries, PLUS a ESL/Citizenship resource list and a special chapter entitled "How to Study for Your Citizenship Interview."
