If you are applying for a Green Card through marriage to a U.S. citizen, one of the most important steps is the USCIS interview. During this interview, an officer will verify the authenticity of your marriage and your eligibility for permanent residency.
Preparing in advance is key to avoid problems or delays. Here are 10 frequently asked questions you may encounter and tips on how to answer them.

The officer wants to know the story of your relationship. Be honest and describe where, when, and how you met.
2️⃣ How long did you date before getting married?
Explain the timeline of your relationship and any important details, such as trips together or special events.
3️⃣ Where was the proposal and the wedding?
Provide details about the proposal, the wedding date, location, and attendees. Photos or memorabilia can help.
4️⃣ Do you live together? What is your home like?
The officer will want to confirm that you share a life together. Describe your daily routine and home life.
5️⃣ How do you divide household responsibilities?
Questions about chores, finances, and shared responsibilities help prove your marriage is genuine.
6️⃣ What activities do you do together?
Talk about hobbies, trips, family celebrations, or social events. This demonstrates a real shared life.
7️⃣ How do you communicate with each other’s family?
Officers may ask about relationships with in-laws, siblings, or children and how you stay in touch.
8️⃣ Where does your spouse work?
