Transcript Analysis: A Revealing Immigration Marriage Interview

Below is an analysis of a transcribed immigration marriage interview, highlighting key moments and exchanges between an immigration officer and marriage-based visa applicants.

Opening Questions

The interview begins with basic questions about the couple's first date. When asked about details, the male applicant provides minimal information, only mentioning it was on a Monday and explaining his fasting schedule:

"I do six day fast usually from Monday to um Saturday so usually I don't even eat anything the whole week because you can't break the fast like that."

Request for Identification

When the officer requests identification, tension begins to build:

"I actually am going to need your ID um for processing since this case is a little bit more complicated"

The applicant's response shows immediate concern:
"No problem just mine right? ... is everything is there a problem cuz no one's asked me for ID before like this"

Previous Marriages Revealed

A crucial moment occurs when the officer reveals knowledge of previous marriages:

"This is your fifth marriage in the past two years"

The applicant's immediate response attempts to minimize this information:
"Even in the Chinese alphabet anything below five is one so until it reaches five it doesn't even count as one... I don't remember their names to be honest"

Timeline Discrepancies

When asked about the wedding date, the applicant reveals:
"It was Wednesday... it's been two days"

This admission prompts their partner to try to explain:
"We've been connected spiritually way before any we met"

Documentation Issues

Several documentation problems emerge during the interview:
  • The applicant's ID is expired by five months
  • Another marriage interview was conducted three weeks prior
  • No parents were present at the wedding
  • The couple lacks photographic evidence

The applicant's explanation for the expired ID:
"How we I get get a license when you won't give me the green card that I've been applying for since the past 3 years"

Final Exchange

The interview concludes with the applicant requesting a refund of application fees:

"You say you not give me the green card you won't give me the money back... do you know how many businesses I can open with that money?"

The officer indicates that the applicant may face additional consequences:
"You possibly won't be going home today"

Interview Dynamics

Throughout the transcript, several behavioral patterns emerge:
  • Frequent attempts to change the subject
  • Requests for a different interviewer
  • Claims of prejudice when faced with difficult questions
  • Inconsistent explanations for missing documentation
