There is a lot to know to become a citizen in the U.S., such as the history of the U.S. and how the government works. You can prepare ahead of a test. However, to get a marriage green card, you may need to prepare for another kind of test.
As you go through the process of getting a green card through marriage, you and your spouse may be interviewed. This interview is done to assess the authenticity of your marriage. While you may know your marriage is genuine, you may need to prove it to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers.
Questions during a green card marriage interview can include intimate details, such as daily routines and future endeavors. Here is what you may be expected to talk about to qualify for a green card:
Prepare to talk about your and your spouse’s life
You may be expected to talk about your life during a marriage interview. You may need to provide details about your past job history, family relations and interests. You may want to be thorough about the details of certain memories.
You will likely be asked about how you met your partner, how long you have been together and when and where the proposal took place. These questions could also focus on your daily life with your partner, such as when you and your partner go to work, your relation to your partner’s family and interests.
You may also be asked very specific questions, such as your spouse’s favorite foods, their allergies or their interests. There may be questions about future goals, such as job endeavors, having children or owning property.
Some of these questions may be used to throw you off guard. You can prepare for these questions by understanding your legal rights.
