Marriage green card interview

Practice your marriage interview the way it happens: apart

Each of you answers the same questions on your own link. Your partner's answer stays hidden until both of you have answered. Then the reviewer names any difference, so you can talk about it at home.

No card. No password. You sign in with a link we email you.

Example

Who locked up last night?

Maria, on her phone
Daniel did, after the game.
Daniel's answer stays hidden until Maria has answered too.

What comes back

Invented examples, not a real couple's answers.

What did you have for dinner last night?

Maria, answering alone
Pasta with tomato sauce. I cooked, and Daniel did the dishes.
Daniel, answering alone
Maria made pasta, and I cleaned up after.

Consistent, worded differently

Same meal, same cook, different words. That is normal memory.

The question an officer would ask next: Where did the food for it come from?

Who pays the electricity bill?

Maria, answering alone
I do. It leaves my checking account on its own, the same date every month.
Daniel, answering alone
I do. I take it in cash to the office on the corner after payday.

Direct contradiction

Each of you says you pay it. One pays from a checking account, the other in cash at an office. Which bill is each of you thinking of?

The question an officer would ask next: Whose name is on the electricity account?

The reviewer names the difference. It does not write your answers for you. What counts is the truth as each of you remembers it.

Five results, not pass or fail

Consistent

Both answers give the same facts.

Consistent, worded differently

Small differences of the kind normal memory makes. Shown with the same green.

Incomplete

Part of the question was not answered.

One side gave more

One of you gave a detail the other did not.

Direct contradiction

The two answers cannot both be true on a central fact.

Questions people ask

What does my USCIS case status mean?

Your myUSCIS account shows a short status, such as Case Was Received. Behind it, USCIS records every step it takes, each with a short code and a time. Those steps include fingerprints taken, background checks, a file moved to another office, and a card made. Our guide explains how to read them.

What do codes like IAF, IMAG and FTA0 mean?

They are the step codes in your myUSCIS case data. IAF is the receipt notice. IMAG is a biometrics appointment being scheduled. FTA0 is widely read as background check results coming back. USCIS doesn't publish what its codes mean. Every meaning online, ours included, comes from applicants comparing their cases.

Why does FTA0 show more than once?

Applicants often see FTA0 two or three times. When an I-485 is filed with an I-765 and an I-131, applicants read this as one for each form.

What is a “silent update”?

The case's last-updated time changes, but no new step appears. Applicants call this a silent update. Nothing public says what changed.

My case was moved to another office. What does that mean?

A transfer sends the file to another USCIS office. It is a common step, often to a local field office before an interview.
