What does “allegiance” mean?
Meaning: Loyalty to a country.
How the officer may ask it
“I pledge allegiance to the flag.”
How to answer
Listen carefully and answer only what is asked. If the officer asks what the word means, explain it in simple words, like: “Loyalty to a country.” If something on your N-400 is unclear or you are not sure how to answer, talk to an immigration attorney before the interview — this is not legal advice.
