10 Interview Tips for Green Card Visa Applicants
ilexlaw immigration attorneys have developed a comprehensive list for green card applicants to
review before the interviews.
1. Dress for Occasion
It is very important to dress correctly for an interview. The first impression the officer
will have of you is how you look so if you look clean and professional that is the
impression they will get.
2. Do Not Create Complications
Be respectful to everyone that you encounter since you walk through the door of the
USCIS building. Do not cause any trouble for the guards and do not bring anything that
might be dangerous or not needed during the interview.
3. Show Up On Time
Showing up on time is key when coming in for an interview. If you are late the officer
might be irritated by the time you come and might not give you the decision you want.
You need to put your best foot forward. One rule that interviewers share is always be 15
minutes earlier than your appointment.
4. Put Your Cell Phone Away
Cell Phones are a big part of our lives but during an interview with an officer is not the
best time to have your phone beeping and going off. Not only does it distract you it also
distracts the officer and attorney. It is also considered rude and disrespectful so just
put it away.
5. Wait For Your Attorney
Waiting for your attorney is important they will be able to discuss the case with you and
help you during the interview.
6. Relax and Be Confident
It is a very stressful time while you are going waiting and having the interview but
remember that you already made it this far into the process take a deep breath relax
and be confident in yourself. Officer and other interviewers can tell when a person is
nervous and not confident and as a result makes them uncomfortable and nervous too.

7. Listen to the Officers Questions and Instructions
During the interview you will need to answer questions that the officer asks answer
those questions honestly. If you do not understand a question ask your attorney or
interpreter to explain the question to you.
8. Bring an Interpreter if you have too
If your English is not god enough to understand on your own bring a interpreter. It does
not mean the officer will penalize you for brining someone. They are just their to help
you with words and sentences you do not understand.
9. Tell the Truth
Always tell the truth especially when applying for a green card or visa. The more honest
you are the easier and faster the interview will be. Lying causes more strain for you and
other people around you. It also creates a possibility of the officer finding out the truth
and that can affect your green card visa decision.
10. Be Yourself
Being yourself will make the interview and experience more pleasant do not pretend to
be someone you are not because it is putting on an act act like yourself and be happy
during this process no matter how stressful it is.
