AI mock interview · Marriage green card (I-485)

Practice your green card interview.
Separately — like USCIS does.

An AI officer questions each of you alone. Then you both see where your answers differ — before the officer does. USCIS can split you into separate rooms (the "Stokes interview") and compare every answer. Real couples don't match.

1 You answer alone → 2 Your spouse answers alone → 3 See where you differ

What the officer actually asks

Not "how did you fall in love". Small, checkable things — asked to each of you, then compared.

Questions reported by couples after real USCIS interviews. There is no official list — and that's the point.

How it works

Ten minutes each. You don't have to be in the same room — or the same city.

1

You answer alone

A voice interview with an AI officer. Your home, your wedding, your money — the questions officers actually ask. Your spouse never sees your answers.

2

Your spouse answers alone

We email them a link. Same officer, same questions, on their own time and their own phone.

3

You both see the mismatches

Every fact you answered differently — weighted the way an officer weighs it. Address and money in red. Last night's dinner in grey.

The officer won't tell you your answers didn't match.

In documented cases, the officer said nothing about the mismatches in the room. The couple found out weeks later — in a Notice of Intent to Deny.

Real couples don't remember the same things. That's not fraud — it's memory. But you only get to explain it if you know it's there.

Sample report. Officers weigh, they don't count: one conflict on a fact they can check against your file outweighs ten about dinner.

What gets compared — and what counts

Weighs heavily

  • Your address and who lives there
  • Who pays rent, joint accounts, how you filed taxes
  • Wedding date, venue, who came
  • How and when you met

The officer can check these against your file.

Compared, but forgiven

  • Which side of the bed, how many keys
  • Last night's dinner, last weekend
  • What colour the bathroom is
  • Exact dates and small numbers

Nothing to check against. Honest gaps here are expected.

Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. Permito is not a law firm. We show where your independently given answers differ and explain that officers compare them. We never tell you what to say — and we don't work with couples who want us to.

Does a mismatch mean we'll be denied?

No. Officers weigh, they don't count. One conflict on a fact they can verify — your address, how you filed taxes — matters more than ten about dinner. The report tells you which is which.

Is separate questioning really a thing?

Yes. USCIS policy lets the officer interview "the petitioner, beneficiary, or both parties, either together or separately at any stage". In some field offices it is routine, not a sign of suspicion.

What if my spouse doesn't want to?

You can still practice alone. But the mismatch report needs both of you — that's the whole point. Most spouses say yes once they see the questions above.

When does it open, and what does it cost?

Early November. The first 50 couples get it free. After that it is a one-time price for both of you — no subscription, no card until then.
