Interesting Questions asked at the Greencard Interview

[Canada2US 0]

So my Greencard application was approved on Thursday during our interview!!! We had a great interview. The officer was super friendly and didn't try to trick us with any of her questions. She seemed generally curious about our wedding, travels, etc. BUT, while we were waiting for our names to be called for the interview we were talking to other couples as they were coming out of the interview rooms and learned some interesting stuff. One lovely couple was asked a ton of questions in an attempt to catch them with different answers. They asked the husband (the American) to fill out a questionnaire with the following questions:

1. What kind of toothbrush does she use (electronic or regular/manual)?

2. What kind of flooring to do you have in the house (carpet, hardwood, tile, etc.)?

3. What did you eat for dinner last night?

4. What did you do last night? This couple answered that they watched the basketball game. The officer's follow-up question was, "Who won the basketball game?"

The officer then verbally asks the same questions to the wife (non-American) to see if they match up. Both the husband and the wife stays in the room the whole time. They also have a video camera in the room but the officer only uses it if they strongly suspect it is not a bonafide union.

I thought this was all very interesting. By the time we got into the room I was nervous after hearing these stories but was pleasantly surprised with the nice officer and was in and out of the interview in 20 minutes (you do have to wait another hour or so for the letter to be printed after being approved). Overall, It took us less than 60 days from start to finish so I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole process. I guess it all depends if you raise a red flag or not. I just wanted to share my experience and give everyone a heads up if they are preparing for their big interview! Good luck to all!!
