Hello!

I am filing my N-400 through marriage to a US citizen. We got married in 2020, and I'm filing now for naturalization.
For context, I entered the US in 2001 under a tourist visa with my father and we overstayed, I was a minor at that time, I was 4 and didn't speak English.

Throughout the years, I've gotten DACA, when going through the GC interview, I answered no to question 19, and when asked the officer didn't seem to nitpick my response.

For this filing, I'm wondering if I should answer yes rather than no
The question is: Have you EVER lied to any US government officials to gain entry or admission into the United States or to gain immigration benefits while in the US.

any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

If you were 4 and didn’t speak English when you entered, it’s pretty clear you didn’t lie to gain admission.
So the real question is whether you ever misrepresented yourself as an adult to get an immigration benefit? If not, then “no“ would be correct.
