Hi, this is kind of a complicated one...

here is some background:

My wife moved here from London (she is Polish) on a K1 visa. We were married on jan 6 2013. We were living in California for a year, but decided to move to the East coast. She wanted to look for work in her field (fashion) in New York City. I on the other hand just bought property with my sister where she lives in Virginia (five hours drive away). I plan to oversee the renovation project and be in Virginia for the majority of the next 6 months (though I plan to travel back and forth often). She should have received her green card months ago but it has been held up. However we don't foresee any problems with it being issued other than what is listed below in my question.

MY QUESTION IS:

If I am living at my sisters in Virginia, can I claim residency here in Virginia as well without creating huge problems with Immigration. My wife will be in New york living in a house with my name on the lease. I will be back and forth, but want to claim Virginia as my residence both because I am spending so much time here, and because New york costs soooo darn much for everything. This would include a Virginia Drivers license, and The (LLC) Business (which owns the property we just purchased) i have created here in Virginia with my sister .

Any knowledge/insight on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your input!
