Question Guide for the Marriage Interview - Made Simple

One of the most stressful parts of the interview is not knowing what they're going to ask you — and nerves make you forget details you actually know perfectly well.

This guide is updated with USCIS's new policy memo from May 2026 — the one that gives the officer more room to evaluate each case at their discretion. That's why we added a bonus with 20 real questions that are coming up around this topic, with an explanation of what each one is looking for.

This printable guide includes more than 200 real practice questions, organized by category (how you met, living together, family, finances, and more), so you can practice with your spouse until you feel prepared, not memorized.

Includes:

• More than 200 questions organized by category, so you cover every topic the officer tends to ask about
• 20 BONUS questions about USCIS's new memo (May 2026), with an explanation of what each one is looking for

Who is this guide for?

It's for you if you're in the process of applying for marriage-based residency, or if you already have your USCIS interview scheduled and want to practice until you feel confident.

Practicing ahead of time is what lets you answer with confidence, not fear.
