Interview Preparation for Naturalization and Other Interviews with USCIS
Navigating the complexities of USCIS interviews can be overwhelming, whether you’re applying for naturalization or undergoing another immigration process. At Sharma Law Associates, we provide expert guidance to help you confidently face your USCIS interview. Our personalized interview preparation services focus on understanding your case and preparing you for a successful outcome, ensuring you meet the requirements of the U.S. immigration system.
What to Expect During a USCIS Interview?
A USCIS interview is often the final step in the immigration process, where the officer reviews your eligibility and assesses the information provided in your application. Here’s what to expect for different types of interviews:
Naturalization (U.S. Citizenship) Interview: The USCIS officer will assess your knowledge of U.S. history and government, review your eligibility for citizenship, and confirm details about your background, including your commitment to upholding the U.S. Constitution.
Green Card (Adjustment of Status) Interview: If you’re applying for a Green Card, the interview will focus on confirming the validity of your marriage (if family-based) or your employment situation (if employment-based), among other details.
Other Interviews (Waivers, DACA, etc.): USCIS also conducts interviews for waivers, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and other immigration benefits. These interviews will focus on the specific details of your application and whether you meet the eligibility criteria.
