What can I do if in my citizenship interview I answered one question incorrectly?
I recently appeared in citizenship interview and answer one question incorrectly regarding H1B transfer that was 9 years ago and I didn’t remember correctly. I came back and check the record and found that my statement was incorrect. What should I do now.

Do not worry about it. If the information is crucialhand affects either your original GC or this process, they will issue an RFE. If it is not crucial and they have access to ot - they will check and correct. If you want, you may write a letter to the officer explaining the answer given and the actual info verified later. However if the info is not critical and merely affects dates employed, for example, it has no bearing so long as you did not intend to lie

Nothing. Don't worry about it; it is not going to be significant at this point given that this is a citizenship interview and not a green card interview (presumably you have already been a permanent resident for 3 or 5 years).
