What happens at the green card interview, and what should my parent bring?

The interview takes place at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in the parent’s home country. The interview is not designed to challenge your parent. It is in place to verify the legitimacy of the parent-child relationship. Your parent should bring birth certificates, medical exam results, the printed DS-260 confirmation page, a valid passport, two passport-style photos, and any police or court records. Preparation matters more than nerves.
