Submitting Form I-751 Without Joint Residency

[KarenBrad 0]

Hi Everyone!

It's time for me to submit Form I-751 to remove the conditional status on my permanent resident status. When I married my husband, we applied for me to get my green card, but since we hadn't been married 2 years yet, my permanent residency was conditional. Well, my husband and I are still happily married. However, he got an amazing training opportunity in Washington D.C. so he has moved there for the 2-3 years that his training will take. I cannot move with him at the moment because my career is in Los Angeles. I am an actress and currently have a three year contract with an agency and a manager team. Rather than making one of us give up on our dreams right now, we decided we would be bicoastal for these 2-3 years, see where each of our careers take us, and at the end of his training decide whether he would come back to LA and or if I would move to D.C. In the mean time, I am traveling to D.C. or he is traveling to LA every month and a half so we can see each other. Though our current situation is unconventional, we are still very much in a real marriage. Does anyone have any experience submitting a Form I-751 without joint residency with your spouse? If so, did you guys write a letter explaining why? and how did you guys write your cover letter to list the proof showing that you guys are still together despite the distance. 

 

At the moment we have the following evidence:

-Joint bank account

- Joint medical insurance

-Joint car insurance

-Taxes filed jointly, Federal and State 

-Both are owners of my car

-Affidavits from 3 friends

-Photos of our travels together and life together

-Boarding passes of travels to see each other

-Contracts from agency showing that I have to based in LA

-Information about his training showing that he has to be in D.C.
