What Can I Expect at the Adjustment of Status Interview?

Most people are naturally nervous about the adjustment of status interview. in reality, most of the time the interview is relatively simple and nothing to be concerned about. The primary purpose of the interview is for the USCIS to ensrue that all the information provided in the petition is accurate and complete. The USCIS may also want to confirm that all the required supporting documentation is in order. Although the interview is also intended to confirm that your marriage is a legitimate marriage, the USCIS simply needs to confirm that you and your spouse are living as husband and wife.
