AOS problem to Live apart (during the week only)

[MarionandJack 0]

Hello everybody!

How are you all doing? I have a little question about the AOS. My American fiance (who lives in Virginia) and I have just started the K1 visa journey. However, I have a little concern about the green card application.

I plan on studying in North Carolina for two years (to get a teaching certificate) while my husband-to be will be working and living in Virginia. Do you think we will have problems getting my green card because we'll be living apart during the week?

Thank you very much in advance for your help and time,

I am looking forward to hearing your sound advice ! ! !

Best wishes,

Orphee

C. is working now in Oklahoma and Texas while I live in Connecticut (he left two days ago ). His schedule is three-to-four weeks on, two weeks off. We just filed, so I can't speak to as whether we'll face problems, but I don't think so, because we're still able to show that we share a permanent address and have co-mingled the rest of our lives (i.e., I get his paychecks.)

Thanks! That's reassuring! I keep my fingers crossed for you too, but I don't see why there'll be a problem with your AOS application. Good luck for you two !

Maybe someone else will have a suggestion, too. But you *are* living together. You're just commuting to school during the week.

I would recommend to keep all leases and bills in both of your names, regardless of who is where and when

Yes, you're totally right! We'll live together. I'll only be commuting to school during the week and then spend all my weekends and holidays with my husband to be.

Thanks C!!!

You can also get 2 cell phones on the same bills with both your names. Do as many utility bills as possible in both names, etc.

I think I remember reading posts of people in the same case. There even were some couples were the spouse was studying back in the home country if I remember well. So as long as you can prove that you're a bona fide relationship you should be just fine.

Some mobile phone companies (Cingular/"the new AT&T" for example) will not put both names on the phone bill for some reason. When I asked why, the Cingular store guy said that when AT&T took over, they don't allow it.

I think this is really smart. orphee (sorry, can't figure out how to make the accent in vista), will you be renting an apartment to use during the week? If you can, get his name on the lease as someone financially responsible for it. And pay the monthly rent on your school apartment from an account in both your names, showing that he's supporting you while at school.

Thanks for the tip! Great idea. That's what I'll try to do! Merci!

Will keep that in mind, merci!
