Hi everyone,

I'm sure that we all on here have discussed a lot about married couples living apart during the 2 year conditional green card period, but I want to ask you about my case since it's a little bit different.

I married my wife (US citizen) and I got a 2 year conditional green card last month. I recently got hired by airline company as a flight attendant and I might be based in another state. Even though our marriage is totally legit, my wife and I are worried that immigration won't be happy about us living apart. Of course I will be visiting my home as much as I can, probably 1-2 time a month, and I'm gonna file for base transfer to my home city if I'm based in another city. I heard that I-751 ROC interview can be waived for some cases but I'm not sure if I'm gonna have one later or not. I wonder if any of you have a similar situation just like me and my wife.

You have good reason to be worried. Aside from Jack Nicholson who bought his wife the house next door, it's not accepted for a married couple to live in different cities, states, countries, or planets. One of you need to move. If you love your job, it's going to be her.

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.

My wife and I lived in different states for the first year of the two-year conditional period (for jobs, like you), and we had no trouble with the ROC process - we didn't have to do an interview, we didn't even get a RFE.

But we also spent all our vacation time together, travelled overseas together during that period, and had plenty of other evidence that substantiated the genuineness of our marriage.

Yeah, it's so hard decision to make.

That's good new to hear. Can I ask you what kind of joint document did you send as an evidence?
