I'm applying for American citizenship. In regards to the appointment will I have to complete any tests? Such as a civic's/history test? Who is exempt from doing these tests? What should I wear? What should I do to prepare? What types of things should you say if they ask you why your here/what you plan to do in the future? What types of things do they ask you besides american history questions? Any set guidelines?!! ANY advice would be great!

I would think twice about giving up my Canadian citizenship. Canada is a better country to live.

in the past the citizenship interviews / test were a joke. But now they actually ask you 10 out of 96 questions regarding u.s. history and government, with multiple choice answers, dictate a phrase for you to test writing skills and lately have been asking that you show some type of attachment to the U.S. Constitution and or the oath of allegiance. Pay close attention when the officer speaks to you, if you can't hear them well make this known since if you ask that they repeat the question makes them think you just want more time for a response. Try not to hesitate, stutter when answering or speaking with them, be confident as if you were speaking to a friend or co-worker, dress business casual, they usually don't ask what your future plans are as they have probably head the same answers day in and day out.

You will have to take a test but the test isn't that hard, you obviously speak english so that's some plus points there. If they ask you what you plan to do in the future then tell them, certainly you want a carrier right?? Say something like I am training to be a ( fill in blank here) and I think that's really the path I want to follow. I belive in helping people and working hard to get to my goals. Good Luck and Welcome Home. This is really the best country you can hope to live in.

The test should be the easy part. The difficult one is getting the green card, going through the interviews and getting your medical tests done. Go to USCIS.GOV and find out more information if you are seriously considering becoming a citizan. My husband is going through this right now and is on his 10th year of waiting. Some people go through immediatly some wait. It depends on who you get at the interview and then some. It is a tedious task but worth it if you want it badly enough. No one to my knowledge is exempt.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't want to become an American citizen at this time in history. I'd wait two more years until the next election and hopefully it will be a better time.
What do I have to do to become Canadian?
