Hi everyone. Welcome back.
I'm Jackie and I'm here to help you pass your U.S citizenship interview.
Today, I'll have another simulated interview for you.
That means I will be the immigration officer and you will be the applicant.
And don't just answer the questions in your head.
Answer them out loud because that's how you practice your answers and get better.
and if you need some extra help, we do offer live mock interviews via zoom on our website.
We will customize the interview based on your application
and will address any questions you might have about the interview.
so, make sure to check it out. I'll add a link in the description.
All right, are you ready? let's get started.
