The following green card marriage questions are commonly used by USCIS examiners to determine whether your marriage is real, or if you just got married in order to get a green card.
Our best advice is to:
1. Always tell the truth.
2. Keep your answers short.
3. If you are not 100% sure of the answer, don’t guess.
Although most marriages between U.S. citizens and immigrants are bona fide, some are not. It is the job of the USCIS to determine which ones are real and which ones are not.
If the USCIS is suspicious about the bona fides of your marriage, they may separate you and your spouse and interview each of you in separate rooms. If there are any inconsistencies between your answers, they may send an investigator to your home early one morning to interview you, your spouse and your neighbors.
It is best to go over these questions with your spouse prior to your interview.
