Hello, me and my husband were married almost 2 years when I received the green card, however since it was 2 months still shy of 2 years i received a conditional green card this January 19. That being said, I received a job proposal that would require me to move out of state, from Indiana to California. My husband cannot come with me now because his father has dementia and he takes care of him, and he's also disabled and doesn't want to make the move. But the job is too good for me and for my career - it would be financially a big jump in our lives. My question is: my lawyer told me that moving to another state for a job without my husband, even though we will not separate or divorce (we will still see each other at least once a month), will be a big red flag coming the time to remove conditions of my green card. She said there will be another interview - I thought we just needed to send documents to prove our bona fides again, not be interviewed again, but she said interviews are required the second time now and the IO can deny my removal of conditions and cancel my GC if we live separately. Please, let me know if this really is an impediment, if I have to decline this job offer . I'm already 46 years old and this opportunity will not come back again. Please tell me the IOs cannot be that strict? Thanks so much

Had to reply to your post, do not believe everything a lawyer tells you. The fact is you have to be honest to the authorities by letting them know that you work in California. This can be done by writing a cover letter along with what ever documentary evidence you have with your husband for the past years, but make sure all your paper work remains in your adoptive State which is Indiana.If they call for interview which i doubt they will just tell the truth. Where most people get into trouble is when they try to hide stuffs that the government already know. Good luck
