Q: conditional marriage based green card
I am a US Citizen. I am currently working. My wife received her conditional marriage based green card few months ago. Due to her academic field, she is not able to find a job in MI but has opportunities to land jobs outside MI in other
states. Does USCIS require that during the two year conditional green card period both of us must have to live together? Is it okay if she works in another state? Will her green card be revoked or removal of conditional status application be denied when we file it two years from now if we live separately? thank you.
A: Although USCIS generally expects that married persons should be living together, it is possible to get an I-751 Petition approved while living separately. The difference between approval and denial will depend on the quality of the petition and supporting documentation. I suggest that you work with an experienced immigration attorney to avoid certain mistakes and to have the best chance of success. Best wishes to you.
