You don’t need perfect English. You need preparation, clarity, and the right support.

If you have an immigration interview coming up—especially for asylum, adjustment of status, or naturalization—you may be feeling nervous.

You’re not alone. Many of our clients feel unsure about what to expect, what questions they’ll be asked, or how to answer clearly in English.

That’s why we offer USCIS interview preparation sessions—so you don’t walk in unprepared or overwhelmed.

Here’s what you can do now to feel more confident before the interview.

1. Understand the Process

Each USCIS interview follows a structure:

• You check in and go through security
• You are called into a room with an officer
• The officer explains the purpose of the interview
• They review your documents and ask you questions—often personal, legal, and detailed

If you’re bringing an interpreter, they will be asked to complete Form G-1256 before the interview begins.

Knowing what happens step-by-step can reduce anxiety and help you focus.

2. Know the Common Questions

Whether you are applying for a marriage-based green card, asylum, or citizenship, you will be asked:

• Personal history questions (name, birth, background)
• Travel and immigration history
• Relationship or family questions (for marriage or derivative cases)
• Employment or study information
• Security and eligibility questions (yes/no legal questions)

In our practice sessions, we go through the questions in English, and help you understand the meaning behind each one.

3. Practice Speaking Clearly and Calmly

The goal is not to sound like a native speaker. It’s to answer clearly, honestly, and confidently.

You don’t need long, perfect sentences. Simple and complete answers are best.

Practice with someone who can:

• Repeat questions in clear English
• Help you rephrase answers if needed
• Give feedback on pronunciation and delivery

That’s what we do in our simulation sessions.

4. Bring the Right Support

If you are not comfortable answering in English, you have the right to bring an interpreter. At English-On Purpose, we also offer professional interpretation services—so you can feel supported throughout the process.

You can also request a certified translation of any required documents.

5. Prepare Emotionally, Not Just Logically

Immigration interviews can bring up difficult memories, personal history, or trauma. It’s okay to feel emotional.

That’s why we prepare our clients not just with answers—but with breathing techniques, mindset support, and confidence tools.

Final Tip: Rehearse Like It’s Real

Simulation is powerful. It helps your brain and body get used to the setting.

In our 30-minute and 50-minute prep sessions, we simulate real questions, pauses, emotions, and even the waiting experience.

You’ll walk in more prepared—because you’ve already practiced like it’s real.
