Experience?

[RandomGirl85]

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 us!Thanks!!!!!

Haha, sorry I am laughing because your lawyer sounds like a scammer/dumn and surprisingly you still hire him/her.

No, it won't matter. Actually I see people live in two different cities.

But I don't know your situation. If it is just simple situation - student and AOS through marriage - I don't think there will be any issues even if you don't live together. But you have to keep as much evidence as possible, like photos, flight tickets, parking tickets...

Just a personal opinion.

Right! That's what I though! We are planning to get rid her, she's giving us so much stress for no reason.

& We will, my husband is making 2 binders, 1 with documents that proofs our marriage, and the second should be photos of us In time line (Going Out, Engage, Marriage Life). Thanks!

Hi,

Personally I would not even invite your lawyer to the interview or if you have outstanding fees pay them. The reason is very typical lawyer fashion they are prepping any excuse to say it is your fault and to fix it later on. Instead of giving you actual advice they are trying to make their job easier. My lawyer did the exact same when I asked expedites various times or sending extra information.

In reality, the i-864 is impacted when one person moves to another state or city for a period of time. What you are doing very likely will never come up or matter but if it does just be truthful (i rent a small room where I just sleep at night when working studying late). I actually know someone who had the same situation but it never came up in the AOS, ROC or N400 interviews.

Not sleeping in the same bed every night, is the same as not having ********, or changing your last name. But is no way showing your marriage is not bonafided. Some people even use their AP and go away for 3 months and we seen them get approved as long as everything was in order.

In reality you have been married for 4 years, there is little chance they would outright deny and deport you. Such bullshit.

Honestly, I would listen to your lawyer. You don't want to give USCIS any reason to doubt you or deny your request. A 40-minute commute is pretty standard for many people. A big part of the GC process is showing that your marriage is bona fide, and you don't want the fact that you have another place to live (where you could be living together) get in the way of that. Just my 2c. I couldn't figure out if you would be spending 3 days a week at the dorm or what exactly was the plan, but I would not dismiss your lawyer's advice out of hand.

I agree with everyone except Lakerdag, you'll be fine, chances are it won't even come up, however if it does just explain that there are days where you have to study late and you don't want to disturb your husband by being up late. and make sure you have that evidence of a bonafide marriage. Best of Luck and wishes!
