You fell in love. You built a life together. Now you’re taking the next step—getting a green card through marriage. One of the most important moments in this process is the USCIS interview, and while it might feel nerve-wracking, it doesn’t have to be.
At Godoy Law Office, we’ve walked hundreds of couples through this step—and we’re here to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported. Having an advocate to help you with your application and interview process will help give you peace of mind.
The interview is your opportunity to show immigration officials that your relationship is real. You and your spouse will meet with a USCIS officer who will ask questions about your life together—how you met, how you live, and what your daily routine looks like. Their job is to confirm your marriage is genuine, not just for immigration benefits.
You may be interviewed together or separately, and the tone can vary—some interviews feel like a casual conversation, others are more detailed.
Every interview is different, but here are some common questions:
It’s not a test—it’s a chance to tell your story.
Bring everything that shows your life together is real:
You might get a decision the same day, or USCIS may notify you later. Sometimes, they ask for more documents—or even schedule a second interview. Having an experienced immigration attorney can help prepare you for all outcomes.
We know how much is riding on this interview. That’s why we prepare our clients step-by-step—what to bring, how to answer, and how to feel calm and ready.
