Really? I found this in USCIS website. But I don't know if graduate school would qualify for such statement: Involuntary separation. In the event that the applicant and spouse live apart because of circumstances beyond their control, such as military service in the Armed Forces of the United States or essential business or occupational demands, rather than because of voluntary legal or informal separation, the resulting separation, even if prolonged, will not preclude naturalization under this part.

Hello, Married to a US spouse, but now I am temporarily living outside my permanent address because I am doing 3 years of medical school in another state to be able to practice in the US. I live in another state, and by myself, my spouse stays in our apartment, located at the address we have always lived at since I came to the US (and shown in my DL). We visit a lot each other, either she comes or I go, but technically talking we aren't living together. it is a sacrifice we are doing for me to grow here, but we have a solid marriage, financially and in all areas, so that would be easy to prove. I do not have a DL from the state I am studying at, only a lease of the apartment I rent. The question is: when I apply for naturalization, would this be a problem? The fact that we are not in the same house for a while? Even though we keep the same permanent address? Should I mention this in the form or to the officer? If I apply for naturalization, I am planning to apply in the state we have our apartment, not here where I temporarily live. My home is there. What do you think? Should I be concerned or delay my naturalization? I honestly would like to do it as soon as I can apply (I cannot do it yet, but I will be able to apply during my program and be a citizen at the time of my graduation). Thank you
