Having two residences during marriage … how to handle for ROC?

[Blah blah 2]

So my husband and I own our primary residence where we have tons of evidence. All our credit card and bank statements and deed have both our names and our primary address. I was in North Carolina for a masters degree for two years where I would go back and forth between Michigan and North Carolina. The lease there and the renters insurance had both my husbands and my names on it. My question is should we include the lease and renters insurance as evidence? I was there two years. I have listed my North Carolina address in the “other places you lived in the application” but I am not sure if I should include the lease and renters insurance?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

You should indicate you lived in NC for those two years.

 

Presumably you filed AR-11 at the time.

 

The lease and insurance indicates shared finances so it should be included. 
 

At your interview, be upfront that you lived apart from your spouse.

The North Carolina apartment was not my permanent address. I still spent majority of my time in Michigan so I didn’t feel the need to file an AR-11.

 

I also filed taxes as a Michigan resident.

Then why would you do following?

Because I did live there (albeit very sporadically) and we did hold a joint lease there. I did not apply with this address for any credit cards or ask the building to report to the credit reports so I doubt it’ll even show up during a credit check.

I was in a similar situation, and I included the lease agreement and renter's insurance in ROC packet.  It is also important to include a letter explaining why you have two addresses and why you may be living separately part time.

 

I answered Yes on question 22 and for the explanation I gave the second address and mentioned there's an attached letter with the explanation.  I also didn't file AR-11 because it didn't make sense.  

 

FWIW, my ROC completed without interview or RFE.
