My husband and I have been married since 2003. He would visit me in the Philippines during his vacation. He was deployed so I didnt want to move to the US alone. Unfortunately, marriage didnt work out. We never filed for my green card. We lost touch until he found out I came to the US. Now, he wants to help me out and give me the privilege to get my green card. We don't live in the same state. What are the chances this would be approved? I've been reading on case laws about my situation. But Is it even a good idea to push through with the application?

Ho0w did you come to the US this time and are you divorced from this man? He can't help you get GC only the person who sponsored you can.Originally posted by nsd View Post -
No we are not divorced. Came to the US with a visitor's visa. My husband is a US citizen.Comment

So what you're saying is that you're not really getting back together as a couple but he would just be doing this so you can get the green card? I recommend caution if that is the plan. Did you recently arrive in the US, or have you been here a long time? Have you had your US visa for a long time? When was the last time your husband visited you in the Philipines? Those immigration people aren't stupid. They will want to know why it is that a couple who's supposed to be in love and happily married are not only not living together but not even living in the same state. Have you thought about how you would respond to that if asked? And if you hurriedly throw stuff together as 'evidence' of living together they will likely figure that out. That might work for a couple who was recently married and haven't had time to accumulate much of anything, but you guys have been married for many years. Have you been separated for a very long time? How much do you know about what's going on in each other's lives now? What if they were to interview you separately, how confident are you that you would both give similar answers to the same questions. This could be tricky, depending on the IO who interviews you.
In response to the question at the end of your post...When you got married you were in love with each other. Things just didn't work out the way you thought they would (which happens), so its not like you got married JUST to file for a green card. And you're still married, so if your US citizen husband wants you to live in America then why not go for it if that's what you want to do also? But things might work more to your advantage if you moved in together and 'build a life together' for a while before you file these papers. Not giving advice...just sayin'. Who knows, ya'll might just fall in love all over again after you hook up
Whatever you decide, good luck.Comment
