Q: Can I move to another state for work relocation and leave my spouse in another state under condition green card?
Recently I have been given a 2 years conditional green card.
But I have got a very good job offer in another state.
Me and my partner have agreed that I can relocate for the job but I was very worried that relocating to another state might raise red flags during the removal of 2 years conditional green card status (I751 interview).
So can we proceed or not?
A: In the current political climate, this would be ill advised.

A:
To remove the conditions on your permanent residence, petitioners must prove that they did not get married to evade immigration laws. While living apart from a spouse due to employment or educational opportunities and/or obligations certainly will make that more difficult, it is a factor that can be overcome.
You should contact an experienced attorney for legal assistance and advice specific to your case, as these type of matters can be very complex.
