The following are further tips that will assist in the successful completion of the marriage Green Card application:

1. Preparing and rehearsing will allow the marriage Green Card applicant to answer questions honestly and clearly. If a certain answer is not rememberable, it is okay to indicate that you do not recall, rather than guess an incorrect answer
2. Be prepared for uncomfortably personal questions. These questions can embarrass or even make the interview awkward and uncomfortable. If a question cause such discomfort, it is possible to communicate that to the interview officer and indicate that you wish not to respond to that question
3. Practice will make perfect. Depending on the length of the marriage it can be easy to forget details about the detailed history of relationship of the marriage. However, it is imperative that you practice for the interview in order to exhibit confidence in your recollection surrounding details of your marital life and spouse
