USCIS Marriage Interview: Children & Future Plans Questions
Kids, schooling, sitters, parenting, and long-term plans reveal commitment to building a life together.
Why USCIS asks these questions
Questions about children and future plans reveal whether you've had real conversations about building a life together. USCIS officers are looking for evidence of shared long-term thinking — not just cohabitation.
What officers look for
- Agreement (or documented disagreement) on having children
- School enrollment details and caretaking arrangements if applicable
- Shared plans for where you'll live, career goals, and retirement
- Evidence that both spouses are invested in a shared future
