Filing I-130 But my spouse and I live in different state

[vpower]

Hello everybody,

Can we file a form I-130 when we are living in a different state.

I have a F-1 visa and my spouse has a green card. I live and go to school in Georgia and my spouse lives, works and goes to school in Maryland.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Filing I-130. But my spouse and I live in different states.

Hello, It does not seem that you are truly married if you live in different states. How can you prove that you are in a REAL relationship when you are not together. I know that there are many reasons to be apart BUT USCIS may not believe that this is a genuine marriage. I am not trying to be cruel but they look for fraud marriages and sometimes ask tricky questions at the interview. Good luck.

I think this question would be better suited for the "Family based Green Card" forum instead of the K-VISA forum.



My wife and I went in for the AOS interview this month. We got a Request for Additional Evidence form, for more evidence of co-habitation. I dont know if you would have to prove cohabitation at the time of filing the I-130 but I think it will be a likely requirement at your AOS interview.
