Tips for Surviving Your Marriage Green Card Interview

Getting a green card is a significant milestone for any immigrant looking to make a life in the United States. However, the journey towards legal status is not exactly a walk in the park. Marriage green card interviews, in particular, can be nerve-wracking, as they can determine the outcome of your immigration case. Fortunately, with the right preparation, you can ace your interview and increase your chances of obtaining the coveted green card. In this blog post, we'll provide you with some helpful tips to help you survive your marriage-based green card interview.


Can You Reschedule an Interview?


It's possible to reschedule your marriage green card interview, but you must have a valid reason for doing so. You should also make your request to reschedule as soon as possible. Moreover, USCIS may ask you to prove your reason for wanting to reschedule.


Will My Attorney Be There?


While it isn't mandatory to have an attorney present at your interview, their presence can be crucial. An experienced immigration lawyer can prepare you thoroughly for the interview and provide you with invaluable advice. Additionally, if there are any issues or challenges during the interview, your attorney can help address them effectively.


How Many Interviews Will There Be?


Typically, there's only one interview, but it may vary depending on your case. However, USCIS reserves the right to call you for a second interview. This may be necessary if USCIS requires more information or clarification.


How Can An Attorney Help Me?


An experienced immigration attorney can help you evaluate your case, identify any potential issues and provide you with the necessary advice and guidance. For instance, they can help you gather and organize the necessary documents and evidence to support your case. They can also prepare you for the interview, so you know what to expect and how to respond. Having an attorney can significantly increase your chances of success in your immigration case.
