My American hubby has been offered a job in Dubai. The work schedule is 2 months on & one month off. We are really excited that he got this position as he is self employed & jobs have been few & far between in the States.

So I'm thinking of going with him for 1 month out of the 2 months he has to work there & then he'll work the 2nd month there alone. He'll come home to the US for the 3rd month (his month off).

If we repeat this each quarter, will I get hassle at POE for being out of the country 4 times per year for a month at a time?

If you have the 10 year GC, You shouldn't get hasseled at all. Check the US citizenship guide to see how it will affect your time requirement to apply if applicable.

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

No I dont have a 10year card but a 2yr conditional. Would that make a difference?

Makes no difference, you're good to go.

You may have to provide info on not living together come the Removal of Conditions time, but work is something they accept without any problems.

No problem at all.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
