separation before removal of conditions

[Sakuran 0]

Hello,

I came to USA with K1 status, and got married with my husband (US citizen)last year. I have 2 years GC now.

We have some issues which we can not figure out. So i want to leave this house and move to somewhere(different city)i can find a job.

Couple days ago i told my friend about my decision. and She said that i will be in trouble if i leave this house before filing ROC. and when i find a job in new place, then Immigration people may find me that i don't live with him anymore through IRS.

I will not divorce right away because i can not afford to the fee now. I want to spend money for moving out and not for divorce right now.

My questions are;

1, Should i stay in this house until divorce is finalized?

2, If i leave this house and find a job in new place, how will it affect me? i will inform USCIS about the address change. May USCIS find me like my friend says?

I have read some threads about people who are separated from thire husbands/wives before filing divorce. so i think it is possible for me to be separated. i am scared and confused about what my friend said.

Please advise me if someone has any idea.

Thank you,

You can leave when you wish - just inform USCIS when you do (via the ar-11)

You can file for your own ROC, as soon as the divorce is finalized - no need to wait for the expiration of the 2 yr condtional card.

Thank you very much for your reply!

I have some more questions to ask.

so i can separate from my husband and can find a job in new place.

I think it will take for at least 6 months to file for divorce, and in the meantime i will not have any trouble with USCIS. Is that correct?

My husband was laid off before we got married, and he can not land a job since then.

i don't have a joint bank account or joint tax returns. what i have is friends who know about our marrige was in good faith, phone bill which shows both phone number on it and pictures.

i am not sure if they are enough to submit as evidence when i apply for ROC..

My husband says he will help to sign a joint petition for me.

Is it more helpful to be approved than filing ROC by myself with the evidence i have? and After divorce, Can i still have him to sign a joint petition?

I am sorry about many questions.

I am very nervous and would like to get them straight before i move out.

Thank you again. i really appreciate your help.

Correct.

You may need more evidence - only turning it in will you find out.

That helps.

Once you divorce, you would be going it on your own.
