Firstly, I would like to thank you everybody on this site, I gained a lot from here during my application.I became a conditional resident about 2 months ago I am trying to get back in school by January of 2014 to complete my MBA program which is why I came to the states in the first instance. However, the school which has the ideal program for me (cost,course of study, accreditation,reputation) is in a different state. I discussed this with my wife and she agrees that it is better that I go to that school cause we don't want to be in debt just because I am scared of jeopardizing my chances when it comes to removing conditions on my residency. The difference in cost between the schools around me and my preffered school is about $20,000 and I would also graduate 6 moths earlier and be back home with my wife months before I have to apply for the removal of conditions on my card.

My question is; would this affect me adversely when I want to apply for removal of conditions on my green card. This is a decision myself and my wife took together as a family and she is 100% on board with it. The plan is that I come home every 2 months till I graduate (its a year program) and she will also come to visit me often. I do not intend to change my address and we will still keep every thing we have in both our names.

Can you please advise me if this would affect me when I want to remove the conditions on my card.

Your advise and opinions will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

First I always say live your live as you see fit and not how it is supposed to look to the USCIS. Not living together is a red flag for fraud, however; in your case I think you can explain the rationale and as long as you remain a resident where your wife lives that will help. College students do this all the time. Just document the visits, maintain your perment residency with your wife and document, document, document. You will need other things to help you case, but as long as those are strong, IMHO you should have little problems.

Good luck,

Dave
