Educational information only — not legal advice. Almost American is a study tool. We are not attorneys and not a DOJ-accredited representative, we do not prepare or file immigration forms, and nothing here is advice about your own case. Immigration rules, fees and processing times change; always confirm on the official government site before you act. For your situation, talk to a licensed immigration attorney or an accredited representative — and see
uscis.gov/avoid-scams.
WHY THIS ISN'T JUST ANOTHER QUIZ APP
One interview. One retake. $710 to try again.
This is the real math behind the N-400 — not ours, USCIS's.
If you go in unprepared
$710–$760
to file Form N-400 again, from zero
- ✕ Fail a section twice and USCIS denies the case outright — no third try
- ✕ Denied means reapplying and paying the full fee again
- ✕ National average wait is 7.9 months to a new decision — some offices take 17+
- ✕ Another day off work, another trip to the field office, another wait in the lobby
