I recently had my green card interview, and overall, it was a surprisingly positive experience. The interviewing officer was super nice and genuinely curious, which helped. The questions asked were pretty straightforward, mainly focusing on verifying the information provided in my application.
For anyone preparing for their interview, my biggest recommendation is to bring any and all documents that you believe could be relevant to demonstrating the legitimacy ("bonafide") of your case. In my experience, having a comprehensive collection of documents such as joint bank statements, leases, utility bills, photos, and travel itineraries proved to be beneficial.
While every interview is unique, I left feeling that being well-prepared with documentation and encountering a friendly officer made the process much smoother than I had anticipated. Good luck to everyone going through this!
