The final stage in many employment-based permanent residency applications involves a meeting with a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officer. This crucial step allows the officer to verify the information provided in the application, assess the applicant’s qualifications, and confirm the legitimacy of the offered position. For instance, an applicant might be asked about their work experience, educational background, and future career plans in the United States.
This in-person assessment serves as a critical safeguard against fraud and ensures that only qualified individuals receive permanent residency through employment. Historically, these interviews have been a key component of the immigration process, allowing for a more nuanced evaluation of each applicant beyond the submitted documentation. A successful outcome paves the way for the applicant to live and work permanently in the U.S., contributing to the economy and enriching American society.
