When the application is ready, it should be submitted to USCIS and the agency then sends a receipt. If necessary, USCIS would make an appointment for collecting biometric information such as fingerprints. After a preliminary review of the information is completed, USCIS then schedules an interview with the applicant. A citizenship attorney could assist with preparation for the interview, during which the applicant is tested on knowledge of English and U.S. civics.
