Interview date coming and in fight with my wife

[whitecatwhitey 0]

I applied for my citizenship based on a 3 year marriage to a USC and my interview is in july unfortunately there was an argument between us, things got worse and my wife throw me out of her home and I ended in a different state as I had nobody in that state, but we are not separated or divorced. What should I do in this situation, should I show up for the interview or no, my wife says that she would accompany me at the interview but I can not no longer live in her house, but she is agreed to live with me if I rent another home. Please advise me I am so much worried, do I need to let the IO know that things happening in my life.

I don't know what the IO will ask at your interview, but since you're filing under the three-year-rule, he'll probably want to make sure, that your marriage is valid. So he might ask if you're still living with your wife, which is one of the conditions to become a USC after three years:

Spouses of U.S. Citizens

Generally, certain lawful permanent residents married to a U.S. citizen may file for naturalization after residing continuously in the United States for three years if immediately preceding the filing of the application:

the applicant has been married to and living in a valid marital union with the same U.S. citizen spouse for all three years;

the U.S. spouse has been a citizen for all three years and meets all physical presence and residence requirements; and

the applicant meets all other naturalization requirements

Also, on my oath letter the first question, I had to answer, was:

Have you married, or been widowed, separated or divorced (since you were first interviewed on your Application for Naturalization)?

I think, it would be very bad advise to tell you, not to be honest. I would go to the interview and explain. You might have to refile in two years, but at least you will become a USC then with a clear conscience, knowing you didn't do so illegally. So, what is two years compared to the rest of your life?

Good luck to you, I'm sorry things between you and your wife didn't work out.

Our marriage is still valid, after coming down here I talked to my wife, things got better and we plan to be together once I get a place.

But are you guys gonna still live together or no? I didn't understand the concept of "u can't live in my house, but if you get a place we can live together there." whats the point of that?

This sounds very different from your first posting 45 minutes ago.

All I can say, is be honest. And have proof to convince the IO.

I have to apologize, I didn't read the part that said "but she agreed to live with me if I rent another home" in your first posting. That sounds very odd, why can't you live in her house but she's willing to live in yours...? But I guess, that's none of our business.

Anyways, be honest, have convincing evidence, good luck to you!!!

We were having problems because of an immediate family member of my wife, and that person do have a great influence on my wife, and wants her to be with me only if we move out as the home legally belongs to that person.

I saw this one on "As The World Turns or was it "All My Children"!

To meet the requirements of the 3 year rule - you must be living with her up to the day of the oath ceremony! Or else, you can wait another 2 -years and apply under the 5 year rule. Good Luck
