Spouse will be studying abroad during ROC

[Ironside 0]

Hello all. I have a question regarding the AOS process. Temporary greencard was granted in November of 2015. Since then my spouse has been admitted to medical school in the Caribbean. He will be moving there to begin school in August, right around the time we will be submitting the AOS packet. My question is what impact will this have on the process as a whole? He will most likely be coming home 2-3 times per year (for about 3 weeks each time) and is planning to transfer back to a US school but that will be in late 2018 or early 2019. Will this change anything in terms of the process? Will we be selected for an interview since we are not going to be living together during this time? If so, how would we schedule the interview around his returns home?

 

Thank you!

just to clarify:

Is your spouse the US citizen?

You say you're applying for AOS but that you already have a 'temporary green card', do you mean ROC (removal of conditions)?

 

If selected for an interview, he may have to come home for it, I don't think you can schedule it to your convenience. but you can reduce your chances of an interview by front loading the application and include lots of evidence that you do have. Not everyone has to have an interview.

 

You are lucky in a sense that he's only moving there when you may have already submitted the package to remove conditions. You should have lots of evidence from up until now.

Yes sorry, ROC* packet. He is a USC. We are just a little worried because it is going to be very difficult (and expensive) to coordinate a trip home in the event an interview is requested.
