They can't offer help. They can't understand the written lines in USCIS manual. If you give them examples when the husband can't be home, they laugh. An user above tells me to meet my wife in a neutral country :)). They are just passionate about their believes and nothing more. Those type of people who think that if u are married with a woman you need kids to prove USCIS the union...

There is not help here for me about this. You and Mike unfortunately don t make any sense. I ve read all their policy about this subject and https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-C/part-319/section-319.1 too. There is not mention anywhere about the interdiction of being gone alone for a period of time if indeed you remain in a marital coexistence. And it is normal to be like this otherwise you would be forced to live under the same roof for 3 years which obviously is a non sense. Many jobs /situations require travelling and being away from home... Case closed, i am not going to continue on this subject. Please close this thread if possible.

I understand your point of view but i beg to differ. There are many other reasons for people to travel. For example having a business in his country of birth, dealing with banks and so on. There is no USCIS policy that states : during the 3 years you NEED to sleep under the safe roof with your partner and not to travel alone. Travelling does not end your marriage especially if it is a justified travel. So please stop spreading false rules. Read USCIS manual and then come with your point of view. Probably you re that type of person who drives on a 65mpq highway with 40 to be extra safe... Quote from USCIS manual : "Required travel or relocation for employment". Required can mean anything if is important for the immigrant. Some people think that it is a requirement to do certain things in their life. I can give you many examples. And who is USCIS to decide what is required for an individual ? At best, they can analyze all the circumstances.

What sthe purpose of life? What s the purpose of everything that surrounds us? What s the purpose of living on a Planet that's set for destruction from inside (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions) or from the outer space ? What's the purpose of you asking about the purpose of this thread ? What's the purpose of you knowing about the purpose of this thread if you can't figure it out alone ?

RFE for what :))? Why did you leave home? How dare you leave US without your wife? I did not know that a married immigrant should be 24/7 under the same roof with his partner. Tomorrow i will tell the truck drivers to go home to their wives because USCIS wants them home every night. I d tell them that Mike and OldUser advised me about this. And not only the truck drivers but everyone who has to travel internationally or nationally and it happens to travel alone, please don't do it. Mike and OldUser think it is a bad idea. Stay home and starve or let your problems unresolved.

In my case there is nothing to prove. Same house, same address, same comingled finances, same as the beginning. If they ask, i ll give them many reasons why my spouse did not join me. What i want you and the readers to take out of this post is that you should not be afraid to do things if they are legit and in accordance with USCIS's manual.

(B) Informal separation. Any informal separation that suggests the possibility of marital disunity will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether it is sufficient enough to signify the dissolution of the marital union. 1- not any informal separation suggests the possibility of a marital disunity. The word used in the law is "that". So, only those separations that suggest a marital disunity.... 2-even is the marital disunity is suggested by a specific separation, it still needs to be evaluated to see if it sufficient enough... So, even if the proof of separation is there, it still needs to be analyzed to be considered sufficient. 3-the informal separation is hard to be proved by USCIS if the marriage is genuine and the couple lives together and has comingled finances and basically a life together!

I am trying to educate the above users, maybe they understand that a solo trip does not mean that your marriage is not there! And i dislike how easily they label things and cancel a valid marriage and a love story that has been going on for13 years...

Not stressed at all about it! Just debating the obvious!

(ii) Separation - (A) Legal separation. Any legal separation will break the continuity of the marital union required for purposes of this part. (B) Informal separation. Any informal separation that suggests the possibility of marital disunity will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether it is sufficient enough to signify the dissolution of the marital union. (C) 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. It is unreal how you can think that a trip of 90 days means the dissolution of the marital union, despite all the evidence in favor of a real genuine marriage. The text is pretty clear to me. It is pretty easy to prove that my country did not let Americans in during Covid. It is also easy to prove that my spouse did not want to travel because of Covid. It is also easy to show the legal papers done during those 90 days. Further more, a trip home is not a separation that suggest a marital disunity! It is indeed a separation meaning that we are not in the same house but nothing else. For you, if your spouse visits her family in another state and you don't join it means you are in a marital disunity... I will come back with details after the interview.

My country did not allow my US spouse to join me. And even if they did allow it, it is her decision to join me or not. I ve also maintained mine.

The example above is mine but i am also arguing the fact that every case is unique and the IO should not think that if a couple does not sleep under the same roof for 3 years continuously it means that they are not in a marital union.

If the couple is living in a marital union and there is not suggestion of any kind of marital disunity, certain circumstances are going to be analyzed by the IO. My case : I've been married for 3 years,K1. We've been together for 13 years both in EU and US. We had the same bank account even before getting married and so many other things. During my marriage, I travelled twice to EU. Once alone, for 3 months and the next year with my partner for 2 months. I travelled alone because my partner could not join-it was the Covid restriction. I also had to deal with legal paperwork in EU and I have proof of that.

Informal Separation In many instances, spouses will separate without obtaining a judicial order altering the marital relationship or formalizing the separation. An applicant who is no longer actually residing with his or her U.S. citizen spouse following an informal separation is not living in marital union with the U.S. citizen spouse. However, if the U.S. citizen spouse and the applicant continue to reside in the same household, an officer must determine on a case-by-case basis whether an informal separation before the filing of the naturalization application renders an applicant ineligible for naturalization as the spouse of a U.S. citizen. [30] Under these circumstances, an applicant is not living in marital union with a U.S. citizen spouse during any period of time in which the spouses are informally separated if such separation suggests the possibility of marital disunity. Factors to consider in making this determination may include: The length of separation; Whether the applicant and his or her spouse continue to support each other and their children (if any) during the separation; Whether the spouses intend to separate permanently; and Whether either spouse becomes involved in a relationship with others during the separation. [31] Involuntary Separation Under very limited circumstances and where there is no indication of marital disunity, an applicant may be able to establish that he or she is living in marital union with his or her U.S. citizen spouse even though the applicant does not actually reside with citizen spouse. An applicant is not made ineligible for naturalization for not living in marital union if the separation is due to circumstances beyond his or her control, such as: [32] Service in the U.S. armed forces; or Required travel or relocation for employment.

"Informal separation. Any informal separation that suggests the possibility of marital disunity will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether it is sufficient enough to signify the dissolution of the marital union." Being gone alone for 3 months those not mean that the couple does not reside at the same address or that they are separated. The IO can ask questions and the applicant should give valid answers on why he or she travelled alone. Do you see a marital disunity in every circumstance when a couple is not 24/7 together ? Don't forget that during COVID, US citizens where not allowed to travel to Europe.
