After months of paperwork and waiting, the moment feels very real now that an interview has been scheduled for both my spouse and me. We are preparing to attend together, and I want to avoid mistakes that could cause delays or denials. What should we expect during a joint immigration interview, how should we prepare our documents and answers, and what types of questions are commonly asked to couples during this process at a U.S. consulate or USCIS office?

Question

Joint interviews usually focus on verifying the legitimacy of your relationship and the accuracy of your application. Officers often ask about your history together, daily routines, and future plans. Reviewing your forms together beforehand helps ensure consistent answers.

Bring all requested documents, including originals, translations, and evidence of your relationship such as photos or joint records. Dress professionally and answer questions honestly without over explaining. If you do not know an answer, it is better to say so than guess.

Tami Gonzales · Answer

Go over all the important questions, even the ones that seem not so important. You will likely get asked about key dates and events in your relationship.
