Green Card interview tips?

Are you seeking for Green Card interview tips? In general, applicants must attend an interview, before being approved for a Green Card. The located the interview will be held depends on where you’re applying from.

People coming from overseas through “consular processing” will ordinarily attend their interview at a U.S. consulate, while those applying in the U.S. through “adjustment of status” will attend their interview at an office of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

The following tips will help you to pass and receive approval for your Green Card:

• Review your application previously: The first subject of your conversation with the U.S. government officials is probably the material in your application. Review all the forms sent previously;
• Prepare to refer and prove any changes to the information in your application forms: Check if anything has changed in the weeks or months since the forms were filled out and the documents were submitted. Bring some evidence of any changes to your interview, such as a new address or name change, for example;
• In case of changes in marital status, in a family visa where the person is supposed to come with you to the United States: Make sure that the applicant is still eligible for the Green Card under the relevant category;
• Tell the Truth: Lying during a Green Card or immigrant visa interview can get you more trouble than whatever the original issue you were trying to hide. Answer only the questions that you are asked, and don’t give more information not required by the officer;
• In case of a Marriage-Based Visa be prepared for personal questions: Marriage-based green card applications receive more care than any others. The immigration officer will want to see evidence of your valid marriage such as wedding photos, birth certificates of children you’ve had together, and bills in both names such as utility and cell phone bills, for example.
• Be calm and polite: We recommend you don’t argue, but just point out errors, calmly.

Keep in mind that during the interview, your body language will be noticed. An officer who gets any impression that this marriage was performed only for one party to get a Green Card may interview each of you separately and then compare your answers.

In some cases, if there is significant evidence pointing to fraud, a U.S. government officer may visit your supposedly joint residence to verify that you live together. Fortunately, in most cases, unless you don’t qualify for a Green Card, your application will not be denied. In general, you have a chance to justify yourself and submit additional documents, for example to prove the interviewer of your eligibility.
