Have my initial interview next month. Husband (USC) moved out of state for his job. Does this look bad for our case?

We got married last year and have the initial interview scheduled for next month. Husband left last month to work out of state for a year because the money is good. I decided to stay because they might have to move around and I have no interest in living in an RV with his coworker and other pets that pose a risk to our own dog as she was attacked by one of the dogs more than once. 

 

USCIS doesn't know yet my husband is doing that kind of work as he was working retail when we applied. How can this complicate our case? Will they pay me a surprise visit and grill me because my husband isn't moving back in until next year? The marriage is genuine but I'm afraid the fact he lives out of state looks really bad on us.

What kind of work is he doing? Has he updated the I-864? How often do you visit?

He works as a security guard at an oil rig. He hasn't updated it. I have not visited yet as he's been gone for only 3 weeks.

Oil rig work often means several weeks on (6-8) and several weeks off (2-4).  He needs to update the I-864.

He works 12 hour shifts 7 days a week and they intend to work nonstop until the end of May next year. But somebody else is gonna cover his shift for a fww days so he can come visit. He is gonna update the form. Should we send it to USCIS or give it to them in the interview?

Interview

[A&H2018 148]

Lots of people do jobs like that. They still communicate daily and typically have trips planned together since less time together. Also care packages, also since one works those hours typically other spouse will be comminicating more often with their family in case something needed since you cant exactly help from an oil rig if something goes wrong.

 

Also all friends who I know who work on oil rigs do not live there. I assume he has lots of stuff at your shared residence still. I mean you need limited colthes to eat, work, goto gym which is all your life is in a town like that. So who I would not use the words “he moved out and is moving back”.

He does have a lot of stuff here like most of his clothes. I do share an apartment with my mother-in-law but she's moving out soon to go work at the oil rig too.
