What happens if we live separately due to work?

[Ixchel 0]

What a great place for info. I wonder if anyone here can help with this question. If my husband and I are living in different cities for work, how does this affect the application to remove conditions? He is the American citizen. The window for us opens in spring 2010. We visit and maintain a relationship, and we hope to get through this as soon as able.

You will need to provide evidence of common residence. Examples are lease/mortage under both your names (which you will not have perhaps); certainly IRS transcripts married filing jointly; bank accounts showing same address, driver's licenses showing same address; etc.

I don't know what to tell you.

You will have to prove to still have a valid marriage. Makes it tougher to do so not living together.

Proof it's a temporary situation do to the economy or whatever the reason may be..

Some peoples have jobs like a seaman have valid marriages and don't live together all the time.

They don't have separate residences tho. Hopefully all your paperwork and bills go to a single addresss.

Thanks for your answers. We do have a joint bank account, and car insurances (two cars) are under both names. We do file one tax return. All mail goes to the one house (our primary home). Yup it's a weird situation and yes, work does take people away sometimes. This is not unusual in marriages. I will not be changing my driver's license or home address. It's nerve wracking when dealing with governmental procedures. How can a person be or look perfect?

Well, when you are a conditional permanent resident; you either play by their rules or get canned. Svcks? yes. But then again, we live in this country by choice.

Definitely a choice I'm glad to make.

You'll be fine. I don't think there is even need to mention this in the forms.

I think I just took my first real breath about it. Thank you Len. Who knows. I may be back living in the same house by spring. May it all go well. *crosses fingers*

You have one common residence (where all the mail goes).

You have a common bank account.

You file taxes jointly.

You have both your cars in both your names.

You have auto insurance in both your names.

You have, in fact, covered all the important cornerstones of mingling together. It's going to be a home run for you.

I agree. When we filed I did not include a lease in both our names. Our application was approved and my husband is getting his ten year GC. I would submit pictures of you and your husband together along with location and date of when they were taken. Additionally, if you have letters and cards, where the date stamp is visible if possible, sent to you by his family or yours include that too.
