Instructions

You MUST bring the completed questionnaire on Page 3 with you to the Naturalization Oath Ceremony, along with the documents listed

Print clearly in black ink. Please read these instructions before answering the questions, which concern events that may have occurred since your interview.
Answer the following questions on the day of your Naturalization Oath Ceremony, before you attend the ceremony. Please note that these questions
do not refer to any events that happened before your naturalization interview. These questions refer to the time period after your interview at the
USCIS office. For example, if you were married at the time of your interview and there has been no change in your marital status since your
interview, select "NO" to Item Number 1 below. If you traveled outside the United States after your interview, select "YES" to Item Number 2
below. Additionally, if you answer "YES" to any of the questions, bring documents to support your answers. For example, if you married or
divorced after your interview, bring your marriage certificate or divorce decree. If you traveled outside of the United States, bring travel related
documents. If you were arrested after your interview, bring your arrest records and court dispositions. If you were serving in the military and have
been discharged, bring your DD214 or other discharge papers.
After you have answered each question, print the date and the location (city and state) where you completed the questionnaire. The date when you
completed the questionnaire should be the same as the date of your Naturalization Oath Ceremony. Also, sign the questionnaire and print your current
address. If you used anyone as an interpreter to read the Instructions and questions on this form to you in a language in which you are fluent, the interpreter
