Hi everyone!

While I was browsing online, I found a couple of online articles that could be useful for couples who are close to their marriage-based green card interview dates.

Forgive me for these articles were written a few years ago, but I felt like the topic was still relevant since they mentioned a few sample (and some silly/random/catching you off guard) interview questions and etc.

I found it funny how one author relates these interview sessions as "The Newlywed Game"... but of course the real thing is more nerve wrecking, like an episode of the interrogation scene from the movie "The Proposal" so to speak!

Happy reading and good luck!

Yeah, I watched that movie and shook my head with actual experience. Only thing the USCIS was interested in with us is that we were paying taxes and bills together and had joint ownership of a toaster, LOL.

I liked the second article, it really gives some insight. Thanks for posting! :)

I'm the beneficiary.

Don't have a timeline? Don't know how to get started with it? Do it for the statistics sake: VJ video guide

Filing for a USC spouse visa (IR-1/CR-1) and not sure what comes next? Check out the VJ IR-1/CR-1 guide

Want to know what's happening with your case? Here's the USCIS tracking page (get an account and see if the case's been 'touched'!). Don't get your hopes up though, some cases never even appear there despite being successfully processed.
