I know I should ask this question in 4+ years, but out of curiousity that if both of my parents apply for USC at the same time --> Will they arrange to have them being interviewed together (like in the 80'). I remember that my uncle's family were interviewed all together back in 1987.
The reason I'm asking because my mom's English is very very limited to none. So, if it's not, then I might need to start registering some ESL class for her.

Thanks for viewing my post and respond. Have a good day.
 
They usually schedule interviews for the same/close time but all interviews are conducted on one by one basis. Normally, your mom is required to pass basic English and civics test. Depending on the age/health however your mom might qualify for a waiver of English/civics (or both).
 
If one's parents know no or little English, can their children, even without bar memebership, fille a G-28 form and represent their parent? At least they should sign their parents N-400 as form preparers.

What would be this thing good for? Lawyer in an interview cannot answer things for client.

You can check the G-28 form at http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/g-28.pdf

Perhaps a case like this could fall under 4 others, explain fully. I'd like to see the explanation. Anyway, regardless of a relative being able to pass into the interview room that is of no much help as that doesn't help on English questions and knowledge.

Thanks, I will start to register one ESL class per semester in my local community college for my mom. Could you someone let me know if there's any local US citizenship preparation class in the California Bayarea? Thanks.
 
I see information about citizenship preparation classes posted at San Jose libraries all the time. Drop by a library to take a look. If you don't live close to San Jose you might want to check your city library.
Does your mother qualify for one of the waivers, or is she not old enough or not been long enough in the country?

Thanks Huracan, I live in San Jose, and I will definitely stop by some libraries to find out some info.
No, my mom does not meet any criterias of the waiver qualifications.

If anyone can be a representative by filling a G-28, then there is at least one advanatge in doing it -- you alway get duplicate NOA sent so you minimize the chance of misisng it
