Me and my wife are just getting prepped ready for our interview for my green card.
We are curious if anyone else as gone threw the interview process and what to expect what kind of questions are asked us in the interview?

Thanks in advance.

Very few questions, no trick questions, really a complete non-event in most cases. Your application is mostly approved based on the forms and documents you have submitted, and the format of the "interview" is little more than a chat while the clerk shuffles through your file. Any questions just fill in any gaps or add a bit of detail. If there is anything specifically missing from your file you will have the opportunity to either provide a verbal answer, or a copy of any documents you are carrying.

I suspect that much of the interview is to see if you appear to be hiding something, such as it being a sham marriage, rather than it being an information gathering exercise.

That is what we was expecting with random questions about like who sleeps on what side of the bed what's each other's best restaurants random stuff like that.
If things are approved how long would it take to find out or to receive the green card? Do you find out there and then if we're approved?

Usually they tell you right there that you're approved.

I don't recall many such daft questions, because it was mostly couched in the form of casual chit-chat. Honestly, you shouldn't be stressed at all about it if your marriage is genuine. ..... And we were a relatively early internet dating marriage (this was 2001, we married in 2000), though we had been married for 18 months, and my wife was living in London, by the time I applied for a visa to live in the US.

It's rare to be asked those kinds of personal questions.

If all is well, you'll get a verbal approval on the day. Takes a couple of weeks to get the card in the mail.

We ain't nervous to be honest the main thing is I'm wanting to get back in to work. As I have a few jobs lined up but still have not yet received my EAD card and can not apply for my SS until my EAD comes threw.
So I'm hoping the interview will speed things up for it all its now been 82 days since sending the AOS package of for it.

Too late now, but just curious why you didn't apply for your SSN sooner?

I miss read information and was adviced to apply for it after the wedding as it would have a restriction to work printed on the ss card.
Again it's my own fault for listening and not looking in to it more.

The legend is placed on the social security card before your PR status and if you came into the US on a K-1 you were free to apply for one once you entered the US. If you are past your 90 day validity period of the fiancée visa then you can not go to the ss office and apply until you have your EAD. The legend will be placed on the card and the EAD is your permission to work. The legend is removed when you return to the social security office with your newly minted green card and apply to have the legend removed.

You still require permission to work and that is your green card/permanent resident status. The green card will be shown when you complete the I-9 after being accepted for employment. Why? Because the I-9 will have questions regarding your status in the US and if you are a USC or not. Of course, once you say you are not, then you will be asked to show them the EAD and/or green card. Makes sense? IMHO whether you are a holder of an EAD or a green card, you still need to prove to the employer that you have the right to employment and that right is issued by the USCIS. So to me doesn't make sense but it is what it is. When you become a US Citizen, you then go to the social security office and update your records to USC.

A K-1 visa holder can get a SSN up until their 76th day in the USA. After that, they need either an EAD or green card.
