N-400 HELP

N-400 Help — Step-by-Step Guidance for Your U.S. Citizenship Application

You have your green card. You are ready to become a citizen. But the N-400 is 20 pages long, USCIS makes it complicated, and hiring a lawyer costs $1,500 to $3,000. You do not need a lawyer to do this. You need a guide. That is what LEGALIAI is — $49, no lawyer, 8 languages.

START YOUR N-400 — $49 No lawyer needed. No subscription. One-time fee.

WHAT LEGALIAI DOES — CONCRETELY

Not marketing language. Here is exactly what happens when you use LEGALIAI:

1
Walks through all 16 parts of the N-400 — every question in plain language, including Part 12 (the good moral character section that most people get wrong)
2
Generates your personalized document checklist — based on your eligibility path: 5-year rule, 3-year marriage rule, or military
3
Flags your personal risk areas before you file — travel history, criminal record, tax issues, name changes — identified before USCIS finds them
4
Prepares you for the civics interview — all 128 questions on the updated 2026 civics test, plus the personal questions the officer asks based on your N-400
5
Available in 8 languages — every module operates in your language, not just the interface

THE 2026 CIVICS TEST CHANGE — IMPORTANT

USCIS UPDATED THE CIVICS TEST — OCTOBER 20, 2025

If you filed N-400 on or after October 20, 2025, you take the new test. If you have been studying old materials — you are underprepared.

OLD TEST (filed before Oct 20, 2025)
100 possible questions
Officer asks up to 10
Must answer 6 correctly
NEW TEST (filed Oct 20, 2025 or later)
128 possible questions
Officer asks up to 20
Must answer 12 correctly

WHY $49 AND NOT A LAWYER

$49 ONE-TIME FEE — NO SUBSCRIPTION

Immigration attorneys charge $150–$500/hour.
A full N-400 prep package from a law firm runs $800–$2,000.
LEGALIAI covers the same ground for $49.

START YOUR N-400 — $49

USCIS designed the N-400 to be filed without legal representation. The majority of applicants file without a lawyer. For a standard application — clean background, consistent residence, taxes current — you do not need an attorney. LEGALIAI is sufficient.

A lawyer makes sense when your situation is genuinely complex: serious criminal history, prior deportation orders, fraud allegations, or national security flags. LEGALIAI's risk assessment identifies those situations and tells you directly when you need professional legal help — rather than take your money and underserve you.

COMMON N-400 HELP QUESTIONS

How do I start my N-400 application?
Confirm your eligibility, then file online at my.uscis.gov ($710) or by mail ($760). Full step-by-step guide →
What documents do I need for N-400?
Green card, all passports, 5 years of tax returns, travel record, birth certificate, and more depending on your situation. Full documents checklist →

What happens at the citizenship interview?
English test, civics test, and a review of your N-400 application. Takes 20–45 minutes. Full interview prep →
What if I have a criminal record?
Disclose everything — non-disclosure is far more damaging than the underlying issue. LEGALIAI walks through every Part 12 question. Good moral character guide →
What if I traveled outside the U.S. for a long time?
Any single trip of 6+ months requires additional documentation. Your continuous residence and physical presence calculations matter. LEGALIAI checks both.
What if I already received an RFE?
You have 87 days to respond. An RFE is not a denial. Full RFE response guide →
What if my application was denied?
You have 30 days to appeal with Form N-336. A denial is not permanent. Full denial guide →

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is it legal to use an AI tool to help with my N-400? +
Yes. USCIS allows and encourages applicants to use preparation services and tools. LEGALIAI is a preparation tool — similar to using TurboTax for your taxes. It is not practicing law. You remain the applicant and you sign and submit your own application directly to USCIS.
How long does it take to complete N-400 preparation with LEGALIAI? +
Most applicants complete the form walkthrough and document checklist in one to two sessions. The civics preparation module can be used continuously until your interview date — there is no time limit on access after purchase.
What if I am not eligible yet — can LEGALIAI still help? +
Yes. LEGALIAI calculates your exact earliest eligible filing date based on your green card type and start date. If you are not yet eligible, LEGALIAI tells you when you can file and helps you use the waiting period to prepare so you are completely ready the moment your eligibility window opens.
