USCIS Marriage Interview: Family & Friends Questions
Knowing each other's families, social circles, and shared traditions helps demonstrate genuine commingling.
Why USCIS asks these questions
Knowing each other's families and social circles shows that your relationship is integrated into your real lives. USCIS looks for evidence that you've met each other's parents, siblings, and close friends — not just each other.
What officers look for
- Knowledge of each other's parents' names, occupations, and locations
- Names and basic facts about each other's siblings and close friends
- Shared family traditions, holiday plans, and social events
- How both families reacted to the relationship and marriage
