My husband and I both go to school in different states. Me Texas, him (USC) Massachusetts. We are putting our paper

work together and he already has a letter from his employer at his part time job in Massachusetts. I am wondering, should he also

write a letter explaining why is job is in a different state from his current address? We are using my Texas address because that's where

we live during the off school days like summer, winter break etc. He is not on my lease because it's a month to month lease but we have bank statements,

credit cards, some utility bills, lots of pictures, lots of phone bills, airline tickets together. What else do you think will be important/

You know - I remember seeing a post similar to this one on this forum, and they had issues at their interview, because they were in different states (schools like you). Can't remember the specs.

I will see if I can find it - to see what they did.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

Well - my ninja search skills are failing, from what I remember, their lawyer(?) said it wouldn't be an issue as long as they could prove they had a bona fide relationship, or something like that.

As long as you two show up for the interview, and show why you are apart (student/working out of state/but maintaining same residence) I would imagine you would fit under that.

Who is the benificiary and who is the sponsor?

I am the beneficiary and he is the sponsor

The only glitch, other than being apart, that I would be concerned about is why he isn't on the lease, is he paying for it, or are you? But if you have plenty of other evidence - you should be ok.

The letter from the employer is a good thing!

He is not on the lease because my land lady is hiking up the rent, by almost $100, once i renew my lease. so to keep my low monthly rent, i will have to pay month to month.

I am paying the rent right now.

Ok, I finally went over to the landlord and they added him on my lease with no rent increase. Do you guys think there is anything else i need to

include to show proof of a relationship. Also, do you think he should write a letter explaining why he works in a different state? He included his transcripts just in case.
