A friend told him how he got a green card to his wife. When they met, he lived in the United States for a long time, and she studied there. To change her student visa to a permanent one, she had to go through an interview with the immigration department. The spouses are interrogated separately, asking cavernous questions about each other and verifying answers to identify and dispel fictitious marriages. It is said that couples who have long lived together were wrapped up because of a mistake in the color of bed linen or toothbrush.
Dima and Jana love and marriage are the most genuine, proof in autumn goes to the second class and another is on the way. But at the time of the interview, they lived in different cities, could not travel (he worked, she studied), met five times in different extreme trips and knew about each other's habits and habits a little more than anything. The color of the toothbrush was feverish and I was afraid to make a mistake. And here Dima sees an announcement in a Russian newspaper: "I will learn how to go through an interview on the green card. 100% guarantee, payment on fact.
I called and came. Small room with the inscription “Notary”. There sits an old Jew, selling Russian books and receiving packages overseas. He heard Dimitri’s fears and said:
“You know, young man, all these questions about toothbrushes are a fist to remove the eyes. It’s all about the hall where the couples are waiting for an interview. There are cameras, and officials watch people behave while no one looks at them. When a person enters the office, everything has been clear about him for a long time - his fictional marriage or not.
Do we hold our arms and kiss each minute?
It’s a cheap trick, you won’t buy it. We need to act more subtly...
Here is the interview. In the hall, Jana takes Dima by the hand and leads her to the window. He gets out of the bag a new cloth, salivates and wipes out some scratch on his cheek with this scratched cloth.
They were not asked any questions at all. They shrugged their hands and congratulated me on receiving the green card.
