In this video, Green Card Attorney Carlos Batara shares why immigrant couples struggle to convince government officers their marriage is genuine.
He outlines key categories of questions that husbands and wives must be ready to address. For immigrants to win permanent resident status based on marriage, couples cannot overlook how simple questions can lead to suspicions of immigration fraud.
In addition, there are various red flag issues which prompt in-depth inquiries by USCIS officials. Known as Stokes interviews, many immigrants and their spouses stumble due to their lack of preparation.
Inconsistent or vague responses, however innoncent, can lead to Stokes interviews, in which the couple is separated and asked similar questions. This video provides tips to help couples put their best foot forward on interview day.
