What happens at a marriage green card interview at a field office?

An officer reviews your application and asks questions about your forms and your relationship. You and your spouse usually go together. The officer may also question you separately. The questions often cover how you met, your wedding, your home, your daily life, and your money. You answer out loud, and the officer may follow up on any detail you give.

USCIS policy does not allow phone, video, or audio recording in field offices. Since May 18, 2026, USCIS says lawyers and accredited representatives must attend field office interviews in person, except in limited cases. Read the USCIS field offices page for the current rules, and ask your lawyer what to bring.

What questions might the officer ask?

No list can tell you the exact questions. These are four of the 91 practice questions. Each page says what the officer may be checking and lets you answer out loud for free.

• What is your spouse's date of birth?
• Describe the layout and appearance of your primary shared living space.
• When was the last trip you took as a couple, and how did you get there?
• Since you filed to adjust status, have any facts on your application changed, such as address, employer, or arrests?

What if the officer questions you and your spouse separately?

Some couples are asked to come back for a second interview where each spouse answers alone. This is often called a Stokes interview. Each spouse should be able to answer from their own memory. The Stokes interview guide explains how it works and how to prepare honestly.
