What questions are asked during a marriage-based green card interview?

During a marriage-based green card interview, the officer will ask a variety of questions to verify that your marriage is genuine. These questions are meant to determine how well you and your spouse know each other and whether your relationship is authentic, not just for immigration purposes. Expect questions about how you met, details of your wedding, and your daily routines, such as “Where did you go on your first date?” or “What side of the bed does your spouse sleep on?” They may also ask about your family, hobbies, and shared financial responsibilities. The officer may direct questions to either spouse separately or together, so it’s important to be prepared and consistent. Relax and answer honestly—this is an opportunity to share your genuine story.
