An interview for adjustment of status is a normal part of the green card process for family-based and employment-based immigration applications. The interview allows USCIS to verify the information on the application, determine whether there is a risk of fraud and to allow the immigrant the opportunity to correct any incorrect information before final adjudication of the case.

The interview will typically last 20 minutes or less. Arrive at the office early, wearing neat and clean clothes (not flashy jewelry or clothing with controversial slogans or pictures). You should bring all original documents submitted to USCIS with your application plus any updated documentation supporting those facts. This includes proof of financial ability, dates that mark significant changes in your life, and any other relevant supporting documents. You are also allowed to bring your attorney with you to the interview.
If you are married to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, the officer will often question both you and your spouse during the interview about your relationship to ensure that it is genuine. In some cases, however, USCIS may waive the requirement to interview the spouse of a citizen or lawful permanent resident applicant.
If you are applying for a diversity visa, you will need to bring the receipt that USCIS mails to you after you submit your fee payment. This receipt must be presented to the interviewing officer in order to be scheduled for your interview. Applicants who are not fluent in English should bring an interpreter to the interview. This can be a friend, family member or professional interpreter hired to attend the interview.
