personal experience about AOS with living apart situation

[jojototo 3]

Dear VJ friends,

We had our AOS interview last week, it went pretty well and I received the welcome letter on Thursday.

My case is a bit special since my husband and I are living apart in two different states right now, so I just want to provide some personal experience for couples who have the similar situation.

We did not get any RFEs and during the interview, the officer just confirmed about our situation and asked about our plan to move together in future.

I think the important thing throughout the process is to be honest about the separation, provided a valid reason for the temporary separation, and have a realistic plan to move in together in near future. As long as you have strong evidence about your marriage, temporary living apart with a valid reason should not be a big problem for AOS.

Good luck for everyone!!

Best,

Jo

I'm so glad I found this post, my soon-to-be husband and I will be going through the same process. I actually posted a question about this elsewhere before I saw this. We are separated temporarily because of our jobs, but we already have a plan and a timeline of when we can live together. Thanks for sharing your experience.

That's great! I think the key here is that you had a legitimate, temporary reason. It's people who are living 10 miles apart with no end in sight that really raise eyebrows!
