Green Card Interview

Are you curious to know what happens at a green card interview?

The beginning is very much like going to the RMV; you present the interview appointment notice to the USCIS agent, receive a number, then wait. Once called, the USCIS officer either takes both parties back to an interview room together, or brings them back one at a time. Before the interview begins, the USCIS officer places the parties under oath, then collects government-issued IDs to verify identity. The USCIS may collect the foreign nationals fingerprints and capture a photo. During the actual interview, the USCIS officer verifies the information submitted in the forms, then asks questions about the couple’s relationship, i.e., meeting, engagement, wedding, honeymoon, living arrangements, work schedules, hobbies, etc. In total, the interview generally lasts 20-30 minutes per person or half hour combined.
