Left US for a while and coming back soon to do removal of condition - what are the odds to get rejected?

[ATLR 2]

Hi helpful folks, hopefully someone can shed light on my question. It will be nice to hear from someone with similar experiences too. Last year April, hubby and I decided for me to fly home to Singapore because of the bad economy - I can't find a decent job in Miami and the jobs that I interviewed needs you to be bilingual (English and Spanish). My hubby business isn't doing good at all and I had a hard time adapting to life in Miami. So I applied for the I-131, travel docs. Then I came back to Singapore to work for a little while, doing some contract jobs with the intention of selling off my current apartment here in Singapore. And then fly back to USA to be with my husband and we will decide where to move to from here with the extra money.

So after about 9 months down, I only manage to sell my apartment, currently waiting to finish the bits and pieces of it and my 2 years green card is going to expire in August. I know that 3 months before the GC expire, I will need to apply for the removal of conditions, however, as I have left the USA for almost a whole year already, the odds of the immigration scrutinizing my application will be really strict because it seems as if I am flying back just to do the removal of conditions...What documents can I produce besides the usual ones to have a stronger alibi on our marriage? Does showing them that I sold my apartment in Singapore helps? It is almost like telling them that I am committed to stay in USA and have no big commitments overseas now?

Any input will be really helpful. Thank you!

Since you obtained a Reentry Permit before leaving, It is very unlikely that CBP will give you a hard time.

They may still ask you a few questions in order to find out why you were outside the U.S. for so long and if you still maintained residency (different from residence) in the U.S., but basically the fact that you got yourself a shiny I-131 means that you said: "listen up people, we'll have to take care of some business out of the United States, but we'll be back within a year or two."

Hi Brother Hesekiel,

Thanks for the response. Well, yeah, I still maintain residency in the US and both of our joint bank account is still active. We chat online every week etc..However, are these enough? Does having my parents write a testimonial of the reasons I am back in Singapore help in my application? We have substantial reasons for me to fly back to Singapore and up to this point in time, if I am rejected for the removal of condition, it is going to be totally devastating for us. It took us 1 year of separation to figure out our financial issues and it will really be unfortunate if my 10 yrs GC is rejected for circumstances that isn't really beyond our control. It had been a very hard year for us when we got married, with all the bad economy and the wrong city that we choose to settle in....Sorry, I am a worry wart who only wants to be with my husband and not having to be separated again, for god knows how long again....
