Green card interview questions USCIS asks are meant to check your application and your evidence. The officer reviews your adjustment of status case in person and asks about your background, your documents, and, in marriage cases, your relationship. This guide explains what to expect, who can be in the room, and what to bring.<\/p>\n

What the Green Card Interview Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n

The green card interview is an in-person meeting with a USCIS officer about your adjustment of status<\/a> application. Under 8 CFR 245.6<\/a>, an adjustment of status applicant is generally interviewed by an immigration officer, but the interview may be waived for a child under the age of 14, for an applicant who is clearly ineligible under section 245(c) of the Act or 8 CFR 245.1<\/a>, or when USCIS determines that an interview is unnecessary. [8 CFR 245.6<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Marriage-based, employment-based, and other family cases can all reach an interview. You don’t pick the date. The notice does. The USCIS Policy Manual on interviews<\/a> says the interview lets USCIS verify information and decide eligibility for adjustment.<\/p>\n

Read your receipt notice and any interview notice carefully. Act on every request listed in them. Treat the interview as a decision point, because the officer’s review of your answers and papers can shape the result.<\/p>\n\n
