Question:
I have married a U.S. citizen in U.S., and have
submitted the I-485 application to USCIS to get Green Card. When do I
expect an interview and what I need to know it about the interview
process?
Answer:
Several
months after you submit the I-485 application, you will be called in
for biometrics/fingerprinting. Weeks or months after the
fingerprinting, the two of you will be called in for an interview at an
USCIS Office.
At the interview, a USCIS official will review the paperwork and make
sure the immigrant is inadmissible. For example, has not committed any
crimes or been diagnosed with a communicable disease of public health
significance, and does not appear likely to become a public charge,
because the U.S. citizen cannot provide sufficient financial support.
In addition, because this is a
marriage-based case, the USCIS official will ask both of you personal
questions to make sure that your marriage is real, not just a sham to
get a Green Card.
