It is worth remembering what is at stake on interview day. Ultimately the worst case scenario is refusal by the I.N.S to hand out a green card to the interviewee. What repercussions' would this have on your marriage, children (if you have some), future plans, job prospects etc? A scary thought isn't it?

Your interviewing officer will be very well trained and will take this interview very seriously. It is very important that you think of it the same way and don't be complacent in any way.

The questions you will be asked will cover a broad spectrum of you and your spouses' private life. The aim of the interview is to ensure that the marriage is not a fraud and that you have a legitimate right to obtain citizenship.

You will be asked open questions. An open question requires more than a yes or no answer. The first questions are likely to focus on the time ahead of your marriage and are likely to include the circumstances of your first meeting, what month did you first meet, who introduced you, how long after did you go out on your first date, where did you go, who met each others family first,

The next set of questions will concentrate on the time leading up to your marriage and the marriage service itself. Several of the questions you will be asked will be related too, who proposed, where did it happen, was the engagement ring bought before the proposal, did you have any financial assistance for the wedding or honeymoon, if so who assisted you, how many guests attended, did you have a reception after the ceremony,

To finish, you will be asked questions about your residence. Common questions are what side of the bed do you sleep on, who wakes first in the morning, what are the housing costs for your home, how many televisions do you have in the home, what is the color scheme in the lounge, what day does the refuse get taken away, where do you routinely do your food shopping, what did you do yesterday evening, what did you eat yesterday evening, etc

Please don't forget to take all ID requested of you for the interview. It will aid the process a lot if the interviewing officer has documented evidence that clearly shows a legitimate marriage which is the complete point of the interview.

The green card interview is vital to your future happiness so make certain you are as well prepared as you can possibly be. How would you feel if you failed the interview because you didn't do everything to get ready?

Most people think the Green Card Interview questions that they will be asked won't be too hard to answer. Unfortunately INS officers are becoming much more persistent with the questions they are asking to make sure that the marriage is a legitimate one.

Quite often though, by answering a question in the wrong way, genuine couples are starting to be put under a lot more suspicion than before.

Because of the economic outlook, the US government is trying to ensure that who ever they permit to stay in the US will make a contribution to its future wealth. Understandably, because of the current high state of security they will always be extremely suspicious.

It is vital to consider that this interview is far from a gimme and if you don't undertake proper preparation it could have grave repercussions for you and your partner. Obviously, you'll feel under pressure during the interview but remain calm and answer all questions with brief but pertinent answers. Don't over talk too much because you are nervous. When the INS officer needs more information he will be sure to ask you.

INS officers are trained to look at your body language and assess it. It is more difficult to hide this from an experienced interviewer and officers are well trained to look for suspicious behavior not only during the interview but also by looking at the video recording of it before making a decision.

Good luck with your interview and just remember to stay calm, do your research into what type of Green card interview questions you will be asked and you should be fine.
