For conditional permanent residents, filing Form I-751 represents the final step toward obtaining a 10-year green card.

One of the most frequent questions remains:

Will we be interviewed?

Current Adjudication Trends

In 2026, USCIS interviews for I-751 petitions are occurring more frequently.

Although interview waivers remain legally available, many jointly filed petitions are scheduled for in-person review.

Purpose of the I-751 Interview

The interview is designed to confirm:

• Good faith nature of the marriage
• Accuracy of the petition
• Continuity of the relationship

Final Thought

Couples filing Form I-751 should reasonably anticipate the possibility of an interview. Preparation remains the most effective strategy.
