入籍面试主要是官员把您的 N-400 表格读给您听。这里按表格各部分列出问题、官员真正在核实什么,以及您会听到的语句。
更新于 2026年10月21日
面试流程
官员先让您宣誓,核对证件,然后逐题核对您的 N-400。回答必须与表格一致;如果递交后有变化(地址、出国旅行、工作),要主动说明。只回答所问的问题,简短、如实。这段对话就是英语口语考试。
官员常用语句
- Please come inside. / Please follow me.官员在等候室叫您的名字,并带您到面谈办公室。
- I'm Officer Taylor. I'll be conducting your interview today.官员自我介绍。您可以回答:“Nice to meet you.”(很高兴见到您。)
- How are you doing today?友好的问候,同时也让官员听您说英语。回答:“I'm fine, thank you. How are you?”
- Please remain standing. / Please stay standing.先不要坐下;您将先站着进行宣誓。
- Before we begin the interview, I'll need to place you under oath.您需要承诺说实话。“Under oath”(宣誓)意味着之后说谎构成犯罪(作伪证)。
- Please raise your right hand.举起右手,手掌向前,准备宣誓。
- Do you swear or affirm that the statements you will give today will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?说实话的宣誓。回答:“I do”或“Yes, I do.”
- Do you promise to tell the truth?宣誓的简化版本。回答:“Yes, I promise.”
- Please take a seat. / Please sit down. / Have a seat.现在您可以坐在官员桌前的椅子上。
- Please put your belongings on the floor / on the chair next to you.将包和外套放在一旁,以便双手空出来处理文件和签字。
- I need to see your lawful permanent resident card, all of your passports, and your state-issued identification, please.交出绿卡、所有护照(现行和过期的)以及驾照或州身份证。
- Did you bring your interview notice / appointment letter?官员需要面谈通知书(I-797C表)。请交给官员。
- Have you had any changes since you filed your application?告知官员所有新变化:新地址、工作、结婚、离婚、子女、出国旅行、被逮捕或罚单。
- Can you repeat that, please? / Could you speak a little louder?官员没听到或没听懂。请慢慢、清楚地重复您的回答。
- Do you understand the question? / Did you understand what I said?如果不明白,请说:“I'm sorry, could you please repeat the question?”或“Could you explain that, please?”可以提问,这不会导致不通过。
- Now is the reading test. Please read line number 1 out loud for me.英语阅读测试开始。请大声读出句子;最多有三次机会正确读出一句话。
- Now I need you to write line number 1 for me. / Please write: ...写作测试开始。官员口述一句话,请写在平板或纸上。不改变意思的拼写错误可以接受。
- Are you ready for your civics test?公民知识(历史与政府)测试开始。用简短完整的短语回答。
- Please review your application and sign here. / Please print your name and sign.官员出示您经修正的N-400表;请核对并在指定处签名,然后用印刷体写上姓名。
- Congratulations. I am recommending your application for approval. Do you have any questions?您通过了。您将收到载有结果的N-652表,之后会收到宣誓仪式通知。回答:“No, thank you.”或询问仪式日期。

常见问题
通常会问大部分,第 9 部分一定会问。明显不相关的部分官员可能跳过。
说:“I’m sorry, could you repeat that?” 请求重复或换种说法很正常,不会扣分。
