What does “child soldier” mean?
Meaning: A person under 15 used to fight in an armed group.
How the officer may ask it
“Have you ever recruited or used a person under 15 to serve in an armed group?”
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: “A person under 15 used to fight in an armed group.” 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.
