N400 INTERVIEW 3 YEARS MARRIED BASE EXPERIENCES

[Soyou 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm having an interview in 2 weeks in San Jose. I came here with K1 visa, got my permanent green card in 2014. I heard that N400 married base interview will be very hard and requires a lot of evidence (even if we did it when applied for 10 years green card). I'm very worried. Please share your experiences for N400 3 years married base. Do they ask a lot of personal questions? Do they make it hard? My husband has work and he can't come on that day. I'm wondering if it's ok?

 

Thank you and I appreciate your help!

Your husband wouldn't be allowed in the interview with you anyways so it's ok that he has work. You can search forums for experience. Lots of information to leverage on the forums.

A marriage based interview should not be very hard unless your case is a hard one, has red flags or not a legitimate marriage. Not all cases will be treated the same way. It also depends on the officer interviewing you. 

I had my N400 interview in May (based on marriage) but by the time I had my interview I was already falling in the 5 year category so I assume that is the reason why my interview was not hard at all. In my case he asked me a few very general questions about marriage life, what my husband does for a living, etc. Nothing too private. 

My husband came with me to the uscis location and waited with me in the waiting room until the officer (who later I found out he was that uscis office director) called my name. Your husband won't be allowed to be present at the interview but spouses can wait in the common waiting area. Nervous as I am, I wanted my husband there for emotional support since he knew how important this was for me. The officer did ask who that guy outside was, if he was my husband and I said that is my husband. He smiled. 

I felt very confident with the civic tests, probably because I studied that book more than a 100 times. To my surprise, the interviewer did not request to see any extra evidence (shared bills, husband passport, etc) that I brought for the interview. He probably got scared of my portfolio briefcase folder organizer. 

Study well and practice the writing. I used the uscis civic test online every day. Don't panic. You will be fine.
