I met my husband while I was on student F1-OPT and we live and work in different cities. We got married 1 month before my OPT expired, and then i applied for AOS. He owed a house before we got married, so whiling waiting for my EAD, i couldn't work so i moved there to lived with him for 4 months, but after that i got my EAD and i went back to my previous company in the other city, so we are living separately again. The reason we are living separately now is because we both just got our job a year ago and both are pretty good positions so we want to stay for another 1year to accumulate money and experience before changing job and move back together. We fly to see each other every other weekend and we spend all the holidays together. We Skype everyday and kept all our message history. We have joint bank accounts, credit card, insurance card. I live in rental apartment, my lease agreement has his name on it. He owed house before we got married and we consulted our realtor, they said adding my name to it is not simple, we will need to do refinance, so we left it as it is because we want to buy another house after 2 years, at that time we will have both our name on it. We also plan on doing our tax return together this year and is going back to see my family in May, we already bought tickets together. Right now, my biggest concern is the fact that we are not living together, I have heard people saying this is a big red flag although we have all other evidence. I wonder if people in this forum had similar experience can provide some good advice? What can we do to fully prepare for our interview?

You do have a valid reason for living apart and it will not be an issue for you. The issue comes if you have NEVER lived together and do not have strong evidence of bonafide marriage. You will be ok.
