The bizarre question is part of a series of simple queries that can stump the canniest of green card applicants, officials revealed today as they shed light on the tricks of their trade.

Other questions include: how they celebrated New Year’s Eve, who wrote the rent cheque and how much it was for, and the closest subway stop to the marital address.
