What shared entertainment or screen devices do you keep in your home, and where?

“What shared entertainment or screen devices do you keep in your home, and where?” is a practice question about home for a marriage-based green card interview at a USCIS field office. A real officer may ask it in other words, ask something else, or skip it. Practice can help you explain your own facts. It cannot tell you what USCIS will decide.

What is the officer checking with this question?

The officer may ask about entertainment devices as a concrete way to understand your shared home. Their locations can help clarify the rooms you use and the activities you do there. This question concerns familiar household objects, so a description of a television or shared screen may be more relevant than technical details you have never needed to know.

What might the officer ask next?

• In which room do you keep the television you use most?
• Are any screens used mainly by one person?
• What do you usually watch or use together?

The next question usually comes from the words in your answer. If you name a person, a place, or a month, expect a question about it. The guide to green card interview follow-up questions explains how to practice past the first answer.

How do you prepare to answer it?

Think about shared televisions, game systems, or other entertainment screens and the rooms where you keep them. Distinguish those from personal phones or devices that are not shared. Note whether something was recently moved or replaced so you describe the current home. If you do not remember a brand, size, or device name, say so and explain the object in words you normally use.

Answer from your own memory, in your own words. Do not learn a script or a sample answer. If your spouse remembers a detail differently, first check whether you mean the same event. Ask your lawyer about any concern with your forms or documents.

Can you practice this question out loud for free?

Yes. Choose "Answer it now, free". The officer asks this question first. You answer out loud, and the officer follows up on what you said. You can try 3 questions free, and you do not need documents. Feedback comes after the session, not while you speak.
