Terms of use
Using OathSteps
The OathSteps project (maintained by raychowdhury on GitHub) runs OathSteps. By using it you accept these terms and the Privacy notice. If you do not accept them, please do not use it.
What OathSteps is
OathSteps helps you study for the U.S. naturalization civics test and interview. It is a private study tool.
- It is not part of USCIS, DHS or any government agency, and no agency endorses it.
- It is not a law firm. It does not give legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- It does not prepare or file forms, and it does not decide whether you are eligible.
- Practice results do not predict what will happen at your interview.
For questions about your own case, talk to a licensed immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative. USCIS explains how to find one: Find legal services at USCIS .
Accuracy
The civics questions and answers come from lists published by USCIS. The test and its rules can change. Some answers depend on where you live or who holds an office. OathSteps does not guess those. Confirm them on an official site before your interview.
Your interview officer decides what is asked. Parts of OathSteps were written by us, not by USCIS, and may not have been reviewed by an expert. The Settings screen shows the review status of each part.
Your responsibilities
- Use OathSteps for your own study.
- Do not enter your Social Security number, A-Number, USCIS password, ID documents or N-400 answers.
- Keep your password private.
- Check the dates you enter. You are responsible for them.
- Do not try to break, overload or misuse the service.
Accounts
An account is optional. You can delete it at any time in the app. We may suspend an account that harms the service or other people.
The service
OathSteps is provided as is. It may be unavailable, and it may change. Export your data from Settings if you want your own copy.
No promises, and limits on responsibility
We do not promise that OathSteps is complete, current or free of errors. As far as the law allows, we are not responsible for the outcome of your application or interview, or for losses from relying on OathSteps. Nothing in these terms limits rights that the law does not allow to be limited.
Changes
We may update these terms. If a change is important, we will tell you in the app. Using OathSteps after a change means you accept it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the place where the operator is based.
