    Default my question for N-400 Interview

    Hello there,
    I will be having my interview next week. I am reviewing the copies of the N-400 Form that i submitted and i noticed that there was 1 question that i dont know if i answered right.
    The Part 1- letter C: it says that ( If you have ever used other names, provide them below.) I typed N/A instead of typing my other name that i used when i was single. I came here as married using my husband's last name eversince. I never used any other name here in U.S. but yes i did use other name in the other country, before i got married and before i came here.
    Was that right that i put N/A or i should have been written down the other name i used before in the other country where i was born?

    Please help... I am really confuse.. I was wondering if this would be an issue to the immigration.

    Yes, you need to write down all names used, including those you used when you were not in the US. Writing N/A was not correct. However, during the interview you can update that information. Tell the interviewing officer that you need to update your N-400 form with your maiden name. You will be fine, just do not forget to mention this to the interviewing officer.

    Best of luck!

    Thank you Nwctzn! So, you think it won't be a big problem if they ask me why i wrote down N/A instead of my maiden name? I'm worried that they will deny my application because of this.

    You will be fine, do not worry. In fact, the interview is not only for testing, it is also to go over your N400 form and make sure everything is correct. Tell the interviewing officer that you did not write your maiden name by mistake and the officer will correct your form accordingly.

    Best of luck! Please let us know how it goes.

    I passed my citizenship interview today. I went to the place 20 minutes earlier than my appointment time,. i waited only for 5 minutes then the Officer called my name. She was nice and friendly, she asked the same questions that was written on the N-400 form, since i memorized everything i had written on the form, I answered immediately and didn't hesitate. After reviewing the form, she hand me a paper and asked me to read 1 sentence, then she dictated 1 sentence, then asked 6 civic questions, i did answer all questions quick and correctly.She didnt ask me to show any documents except my passport and greencard. After all that, she asked me to sign some papers and then she said "Congratulations you have passed the tests of English and U.S History,. Just wait 1-2 months to get a schedule for your Oath Taking Ceremony". The interview was easier than i thought. I have to admit though, that i was nervous and kinda shaky while being interviewed, but sure glad that its over

    Congratulations on becoming US Citizen!

    I did the same mistake, I missed to put my maiden name in Part 1C of N-400.
    Did that cause any issues? Did you correct it voluntarily at the interview? How did you handle? Please provide your comments.
