The spouse of a United States citizen can apply for permanent residency, also known as a green card and has unique immigration status. You should understand that the moment you enter a USCIS office, your interview procedure will start.
Officers are already examining your behavior as individual people and as a pair the entire time you’re in the building. Here are some marriage-related green card interview questions to prepare for. Keep in mind that these questions are just examples; a USCIS officer may ask you questions that aren’t on this list.
How You Met Your Spouse & Questions About Your Relationship
Immigration officers may ask:
Where did you meet?
How did you meet?
What was your first date like?
Which of you handle the finances?
What date is your wedding or first date anniversary?
Are you living together or do you plan to?
What Your Wedding Was Like
You’ll also be asked questions about your wedding or marriage ceremony, such as:
Who proposed and how?
What date was your wedding?
What time of day did your wedding take place?
Where was your wedding venue?
Who was your wedding officiant?
What was your wedding reception like?
Did you go on a honeymoon and if so, where?
Questions About Your Family & Friends
USCIS personnel will likely interview you about your family members and friends. They may ask:
How frequently do you see your in-laws?
Which family do you spend holidays with and do you alternate holidays?
How many siblings does your spouse have and what are they called?
Who are your mutual friends?
Education & Employment Questions
Finally, immigration officers will ask about your employment and/or education:
Did your partner go to college and if so, where?
Did your partner graduate and what was their grade average?
Who employs your spouse?
Where did your spouse work prior to the establishment they are at now?
