The Adjustment of Status (AOS) interview is an important step in the green card process. Proper preparation can help your interview go smoothly. Start by reviewing your application, including Form I-485 and any supporting documents. Make sure all information is accurate and up to date, as the USCIS officer will verify your details and ask questions about your eligibility.

Bring all required documents to your interview. This includes your appointment notice (Form I-797C), government-issued ID, originals of supporting documents such as birth or marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and any updated information since your application, like changes in address or employment.

For marriage-based AOS, expect questions about your relationship. Common questions cover how you met, your wedding, daily routines, finances, and living arrangements. Answer clearly and honestly, and avoid providing extra information that isn’t asked. Consistency between your application and your answers is key.

After the interview, you may receive approval immediately, a decision by mail, or a request for additional evidence. Responding quickly to any requests is important to prevent delays.
