Long-distance relationships can be challenging, especially when one partner in the couple is an immigrant. To live, work, and study in the U.S., the immigrant spouse can apply for a marriage-based green card. The USCIS interview is a crucial part of this process, during which officials verify the authenticity of the marriage and review submitted forms and documents.

The primary purpose of this entire interview process is for officials to verify and confirm that the marriage isn’t a sham to elude U.S. immigration laws and gain immigration benefits. However, nothing gives your application more credibility than providing all of the necessary documents that can show the validity of your marriage. VisaNation will ensure that your application includes all of the documents that must be present to support the credibility of your marriage. We’ll go over immigration marriage interview question samples and answers, tips, plus more! Start your immigration journey today!

What is a Marriage-Based Green Card?

When you are in a couple, a spouse can obtain a green card for an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen. A green card for your immigrant spouse is more commonly known as a marriage-based green card and has special immigration priority.

This green card grants the immigrant spouse permanent residency in the U.S., which allows them to live, work, and study in the U.S. legally. Additional green card benefits include being able to:

  • Travel in and out of the U.S. (as long as each trip is less than a year)
  • Obtain a driver’s license
  • Apply for social security

This marriage-based green card, which immigrant spouses should carry at all times, is valid for ten years. However, it can be renewed no less than six months before expiration for the immigrant spouse to maintain their legal residency. This marriage-based green card timeline breaks down the steps in more detail.

Your interview process will begin the moment you walk into the USCIS office. When walking into the building, officers will look at the demeanor of both parties as individuals and as a couple from the moment they enter the building until the time they leave.

You will be placed together in an interview room, and an officer will begin directing questions for you both to answer as individuals or as a couple. The interview usually lasts an average of 15-20 minutes, and the questions are relatively straightforward.

Below are a few sample categories and marriage-based green card interview questions that each partner in a relationship should know about one another. Please note that these sample questions are not definite, and an immigration officer can ask questions not listed below.

Our Experience with Marriage-Based Green Card Interviews

Our attorneys have helped numerous couples reunite in the U.S., which resulted in many success stories!

“When one half of a couple resides abroad, a common question that arises is which immigration process will be the most efficient: the in-country I-485 Marriage-Based Green Card process after entry on a fiancé visa, or the I-130 Immigrant Visa Spousal Petition along with Consular Processing. There is no definitive answer to this question, as processing times are constantly changing. However, the couple may consider the most cost-effective process, among other factors. For instance, the immigration visa process carries an immigrant visa fee, along with other miscellaneous fees for medical examinations and obtaining police reports abroad, while the in-country application may have a higher cost, as described above.” Shilpa Malik, Managing Attorney

Stokes (Marriage Fraud) Interviews

If your interview has raised any suspicion when answering marriage-based green card interview questions, the officer will ask you to come back for a second interview. Increased suspicion can stem from hesitating to answer questions, having different answers, and simply not being able to answer the questions. Suspicion can even originate from your initial application, where you may have avoided or forgotten to provide vital information that makes your application credible. You will not miss any of the opportunities to build credibility with VisaNation’s software that ensures that your application is error-free. Create your application today!

At a marriage fraud interview (also known as a stokes interview), an officer will place both spouses in their own interview room and interview each separately. An immigration official will ask the same questions to each spouse and then compare the two sets of answers to see how well they match.

Unfortunately, USCIS will likely deny your case if each spouse has different answers to the same questions. For example, if the immigration official asks each of you the date of your wedding and one says June and the other says July, that will further suspicion that your marriage is fraudulent. In addition, if the immigrant spouse is in the United States, they will be placed into removal proceedings for possible deportation back to their home country.

You will also likely need to provide the following documents if you have not already:

  • Marriage certificate
  • Passport for the immigrant spouse
  • Bank statements
  • Receipts for rent/mortgage payments
  • Regular bills
  • Proof of citizenship for sponsoring spouse
  • Photos of the two of you
  • Active insurance policies
  • Employment evidence and pay stubs

Each case is different, so you may need to provide more or less than the above list. But, again, your marriage visa attorney will be able to help you prepare for a Stokes interview or help you avoid one in the first place.

Stokes Interview Questions

You want to avoid a Stokes interview. However, if you find yourself in one and your relationship is legitimate, stick to the facts and remain calm. Making facts up is the quickest way to sabotage your efforts.

Here are some questions you may receive during a Stokes interview. Note that these are particular and in-depth questions intended to catch fraudulent marriages. If your marriage is legitimate, you should have little trouble answering these questions, though newer relationships may have difficulty. Just remember to remain calm and honest throughout the interview.

  • When and where did you meet?
  • What types of vehicles do you drive?
  • Which one typically rises earlier in the morning?
  • Who sleeps on which side of the bed?
  • Who does most of the cooking?
  • What kind of pets do you own, if any?
  • How often do you eat out?
  • How is your living room arranged?
  • Which one is in charge of the finances?
  • What do you both typically eat for breakfast?
  • What is your spouse’s favorite food?
  • What is your nightly routine before going to bed?
  • What cell phone provider does your spouse use?
  • What types of entertainment do you both enjoy?
  • What are some of the brands you use? (e.g., toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, etc.)

This list is not exhaustive. Your immigration officer may ask you some, all, or none of these questions. They only serve to provide an idea of the level of depth USCIS may subject to you during your Stokes interview.

Are You Prepared for Your Interview?

Marriage-based green card interviews are held at a USCIS office and conducted by a trained immigration official. The interview usually takes place between three to four months after you file the petition with USCIS. Therefore, you may want to gather any additional documents that show proof of the relationship for your interview during this time. It is one thing to attend the interview, it is another to ensure that your application progresses to the interview stage of the immigration process. In just 90 minutes, VisaNation’s software will help you create a successful application. Create your account today!

Remember that the primary purpose of this interview is to confirm the validity of your relationship. Therefore, take the time to review your relationship in its entirety with your spouse. It’s normal for you to forget things about your marriage, but you can work together to jog each other’s memory before the interview.

They are also looking to see if the U.S. citizen in the relationship can support the immigrant spouse. Your spouse will need to submit an affidavit of support to show that they have adequate means of financial support and are not likely to rely on the U.S. government financially.

Going through a process as tedious as a green card interview is not something you should do alone. If you have any questions or concerns before the interview, consult your immigration attorney.

Tips for a Marriage-Based Green Card Interview

We know how stressful the interview process can be, so take a look at these top tips to make the best of your situation.

  1. Be punctual for your scheduled interview by arriving at least 30 minutes before.
  2. Wear professional and/or conservative clothing. You want to give the impression that you are taking this interview seriously.
  3. Be prepared to answer all types of questions.
  4. Come with a calm and organized demeanor because immigration officials look for red flags that indicate fraud. Looking flustered and nervous looks will raise their suspicion.
  5. No need to memorize facts. It can make the couple sound rehearsed, which is a red flag. Immigration officials understand that you won’t remember every tiny detail about your marriage. If you’re unsure or don’t know, say it. It is always better to say you don’t know than lie. Not knowing might lead to having your green card denied, but lying or other fraudulent behavior might lead to barred access to the U.S. altogether. However, you should be able to answer simple questions about your marriage.
  6. Act normally; not overly affectionate or uncomfortable.  This in-authenticity is a red flag, so you both should be yourselves and act normal.
  7. Don’t panic if you are separated. If USCIS moves you and your spouse to separate rooms, remain calm and honestly answer the official’s additional immigration marriage interview questions.
  8. Remember to bring the necessary paperwork, any necessary forms and any proof of your relationship. This can be wedding or vacation photos or bank statements.
  9. Confide in your attorney. Your attorney will know your case inside and out and make you feel more prepared by addressing all your or your spouse’s concerns.
  10. Review additional resources to feel more confident about the marriage-based green card interview.

Top 10 Tips for Immigration Marriage Questions

How Can You Obtain a Marriage-Based Green Card?

Here is a comprehensive list of the items required to apply for a green card:

  • Petition for Alien Relative (USCIS Form I-130)
  • Application to Register Permanent Residence (USCIS Form I-485)
  • Affidavit of Support (USCIS Form I-864)
  • Permission for Work Authorization (Optional) (USCIS Form I-765)
  • Medical Examination Results (USCIS Form I-693)
  • Request for Travel Documents (Optional) (USCIS Form I-131)
  • The appropriate supporting documents

If you are a U.S. citizen within the country through lawful admission/parole, you will need the following:

If you are a citizen outside the U.S.:

  • File Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative

Conditional Marriage-Based Green Card

So your green card petition was approved. The only problem is that it’s a conditional marriage-based green card. No need to panic; this doesn’t mean that you answered your marriage-based green card interview questions wrong.

If your marriage is less than two years old at the time of approval, USCIS will give you a conditional rather than a traditional marriage-based green card.

A conditional marriage-based green card cannot be renewed and is only valid for two years. In those two years, the immigrant spouse must prove that they did not get married fraudulently to enter the United States and illegally disregard immigration laws.

Ninety days before your conditional marriage-based green card expires, you can file a petition to remove the conditions.

To remove the conditions on a green card based on marriage, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence.

If USCIS doesn’t remove these conditions, you will no longer be a permanent resident of the U.S. after the granted two years. In addition, if you remain in the U.S. after the expiration of your green card, you will be at risk of deportation.

Biometrics Services Appointment

After filing a marriage-based green card petition, you will need to appear at a biometric services appointment to provide any requested fingerprints, photographs, and signatures.

You will receive an appointment notice (Form I-797C). The I-797C will include the date, location, and appointment time at a local Application Support Center (ASC).

A biometric services appointment aims to confirm your identity and run required background and security checks.

At the time of the appointment, USCIS requires the applicant to confirm that the filed petition was complete, accurate, and correct at the time of filing by providing a digital signature.

After the Marriage Green Card Interview

Once you’ve completed your marriage-based green card interview, you’ll have to wait for the USCIS to approve your petition. Unfortunately, there isn’t a defined time for marriage green card approvals, making the waiting process even more stressful.

A few weeks from the interview date, you may receive the news that USCIS either granted or denied your green card. It can take longer if your file is undergoing an additional security review. If your petition is approved, USCIS will return your passport to you with the conditional green card printed inside, allowing you and your spouse to enter the U.S. as legal permanent residents.

You and your spouse can check the status of your green card case by entering your case number into the USCIS Case Status Search.
