My spouse and I ended up living apart after filing for a green card
I’m preparing to file for a green card through marriage. I understand I’ll need to prove many things, including whether we actually live together, but due to our circumstances, my spouse and I have ended up living apart. What should I do in this situation?
I’d appreciate any advice.
When applying for a green card through marriage, there is a process of proving that the marriage is genuine — for example, that the couple lives together or holds joint assets. Even if the couple ends up living apart, you should prepare as much documentation as possible to show that the marriage is genuine. If USCIS cannot see evidence of a real marital relationship — such as joint ownership of property — despite the couple living apart, there is a fairly high chance they will not view the marriage as bona fide.
