Residency question

[waldron1983 0]

Ok thanks for earlier replies guys. Ok now I will be heading overseas to teach for 1 year. My wife (10 yr perm resident) will join me for up to 4 months, and will return to work in USA. Before we leave we will change out official residence to a family member of mine here which my wife will stay with as it's close to work walking 5 mins. I will have this address as mine as well. Now my wife will not be out of country for more than 4 months at a time and she's keeping her job here and our joint accounts and credit cards etc. Will my being out of the USA cause any problems? Or is my wife the one whose feet are held to

the fire? Once I return we will get an apt of our own again then file for citizen. Just making sure because I don't want any unpleasant suprises at her citizen interview next year.

Thanks

Well if it's just your wife and your the USC then that should be fine. Is she baseing her citizenhip on marriage or the 5 year rule? If the 3 year marriage one they might question her a bit on your relationship status since you are going to be living in another country, but I think you have that covered with her living with a relative of yours while you're teaching etc. I think everything should be fine with how you stated it...
