Three Year living together rule ?????

[sheepnfish 0]

Maybe "we" were living together, instead of "I" was living together would make more sense.

"I am living together from April 17 2007 and got my Greencard march 04, 2007 almost a gap of 10 month ."

Phrased differently but saying the same thing, I received my green card March 4, 2007, and we were living together since April 17, 2007. That works out to where you had your green card for 44 days before you joined your spouse.

Could reconsider rewriting your circumstance if you would like a correct answer.

Thanks for the correction. Yeah I am still learning english. My question if I don't share apartment with my wife will that days deduct from living together?

In practice, the USCIS never accepted my invitation to come out to our home, never contacted our friends or neighbors that see us everyday, and my wife's IO, didn't even want to meet me at her interview. I held out my hand to shake it, she wouldn't even turn her head.

It was all paper work, joint tax returns, even those super weak utility bills, but we had literally tons of paper evidence. In reality, could have been living on the other side of the country with the same paper work and actually was living that way before we got married. My job required a lot of travel. We could have even proved that I shared my trips with my wife outside of the country, but they were not interested in that, only in the number of days, she was out of the country. I am the USC sponsor, my wife was the applicant.

You are not giving details to why you were separated from your spouse for that ten month period, asumming that is correct. But if you were out of the country for that period of time, you may have problems.

" the USCIS never accepted my invitation to come out to our home"

They are not big into coming for tea and cakes either

Thanks Vinod for your help...but what if we're both christians?

There is option for court marriage also but it takes almost a month. Hindu marriage is very simple and quick. You both guys can convert into Hinduism because Arya samaj only do marriage for HINDUS and don't worry about your christian religion because my wife is white caucasian and she converted into Hinduism and they will give you a new Hindu name but you don't have to mention anywhere in USCIS paper work just use your regular name. She is attending church in USA nobody knows that she converted into Hindu. I used to go to Church with her. I am born hindu guy.

From us embassy website india :

MARRIAGE IN INDIA

The procedure for a foreigner (e.g., an American citizen) to get married in India depends on whether the parties wish to participate in a religious ceremony or a civil ceremony. If required, the Embassy can issue a “no objection” letter to any American citizen who wishes to obtain an Indian marriage certificate. The letter can be obtained free of charge from the American Citizen Services Unit any weekday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., simply by presenting a U.S. passport.Religious Ceremonies

In India, a religious marriage ceremony is considered a legal marriage. However, for Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists, the certificate issued by the temple or gurudwara may not be legally sufficient for all purposes. Rather, members of these religions may seek a formal marriage certificate from the Registrar of Marriages. If one of the parties is a U.S. citizen, the registrar may request a “no objection letter” from the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, and also may request proof of termination of any previous marriages, before a marriage certificate will be issued.

If the parties are married in a Christian, Muslim, Parsi, Jewish, Baha’i or other religious ceremony, the certificate issued by the religious authority (e.g., the church’s marriage certificate, the mosque’s nikah nama, etc.) generally is sufficient proof of marriage, and no certificate from the marriage registrar is necessary.

You can have a church marriage and then register the marriage. I am assuming that you are the Groom, so make your would be bride some run arounds at the local court house. Marriage laws are pretty confusing in India, every state has their own rules and regulations, actually not just state, but every district follows their own time frame for registering marriage.

It can be done in some places within 1 day but in some places it might take up to 45 days. So ask your SO to go to the local district court and get all the info needed. They might also need you to get a No Objection letter, it will be a simple letter which you will have to notarize in US by any notrary public.
