Experience?

Let me start by saying I love my partner, we have been together for 4 years got married in 2017, been married for almost a year. My Partner supports me on going to college, and I will be dorming but not living there or spending the nights. The reason why and we talked about it, is because during in-between classes, we don't see the point of me waking up, going to the station, pay parking, get a 2 way ticket for the train, go to class, then come back home and repeating the steps one more time & when I'm done with school go home. We just agreed that I'll dorm, I'll use it when I need to, after I'm done for the day I'll go home. I am not changing my address, nothing is under my name, everything is staying the same. I will be doing this Mon, Tues, Wed: Mid-Day. Also driving is a 40 min drive, plus turnpike, and our cars aren't new.

We told our lawyer and she said that "That's a bad sign because I am paying to be away from my husband." We looked confused, especially because we didn't have our interview yet. The lawyer also said "If this happens, we will fail, and my husband will be wait listed for deportation?" We didn't know what to say. We just agreed, we came home and talked about it. I mean there are partners who travel for business meeting/trips or for training purposes. I mean my brother went to Chicago to get trained for a month and he came back and nothing change, we didn't see nothing bad. I talked to my parents and they told me that our lawyer could be scaring us to make more money.

If anybody online has the same experience, or knows of a story please feel free to share. We are nervous, if you guys need any other information I'll be happy to share, and please share any tips. We have enough evidence to support! Thanks!!!!! Btw we are in NJ

I think it's ok.

I would just collect all tickets to/from your collage, that you spend long weekends with your partner.
During week when you are away from each other i would expect you call/text each other more often, so print out text/call logs from your provider, you can highlight that during week, when you are away you call/text more then during weekend.

Take an Affidavit from your college dorm/classmate, describing your relationship with your partner as he/she knows about.

Think, what else you can show as evidence to compensate you staying away during your study.

Somebody has a job like truck driver/fisherman/salesman they are more away than at home, so does it mean they don't have true relationship - of course No, you just have to show evidence to the IO that your relationship is true.

Good Luck.
