Beneficiary not living with petitioner

[NYjones 13]

Hi VJ,

Is it mandatory that the beneficiary live with or move to the state where the petitioner is living?

If my petitoner lives in FL, but I have a friend or family who lives in TX, and I would prefer relocating there. Would that be an issue? Would I need to state this?

Any thoughts?

Yes, that raises red flags. Most people that are apart and get married want to live together. It seems to an officer you want to immigrate to the united states to be with your family/friend, not your husband/wife.

I'm sorry I didn't state that it was regarding an F4 (sibling visa)

As long as your sibling do not become a public charge, then I dont see any problem with that.

No problem at all.

Thanks for the replies....I'm the beneficiary and was wondering how it would work. I know the address I used for mailing of the green card is my petitioner'a address.
