US Immigration from Canada

Hi everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I had a question that I hope people here can help me with.

I'm currently a conditional permanent resident, with a green card based on my marriage to my husband (U.S. citizen). In December we are going to apply to have the conditions removed (form I-751), since my conditional green card expires in March 2023. We got legally married in December 2019 but only got the green card in March 2021. The somewhat tricky thing is that we are both teachers, and our job situations mean that I need to live and work in a different state from him during the academic year, starting in August. I will be teaching at a University in Ohio and he will be continuing to teach in Minnesota. We have established our residency in Minnesota. Both our names are on the lease here and so what we are thinking is that we will maintain this address as the permanent address for both of us and I will just have a temporary (non-domicile) address in Ohio. He intends to move to Ohio with me after one more year in Minnesota. Do I need to change my address with USCIS even if I'm keeping my primary address here in Minnesota with him? (That will be the primary address still for taxes, drivers license, etc.). I think they should understand that it's somewhat common for couples to work in different states right? Especially in academia.

Thank you for your help!

Hello,

I got my green card in Nov 2018 but moved to US officially in Feb 2019. I've been there since then with no trips but recently I had to visit my home country for some work related item. I run my own company with employees and clients in US but have to stay in my home country for some further business. I am eligible to apply for Citizenship next year. My question is since my number of days are complete and I've a lease, insurance , car etc in US, as long as I keep on visiting before 6 months, I should be fine for applying for citizenship ?

What other precautions should I keep to avoid any trouble ?

I can spend 4-5 months before citizenship application in the US if that's required but there is a potential gap of 12 months where I be living outside. Just wondering if it's okay to visit once every 6 months.

Hi everyone, our interview's coming up in a few weeks and I'm just gathering all the documents that we need. I noticed on Montreal's "Pre-Interview Checklist", it says:

• Your original birth certificate and that of your petitioner if applicable, English translation, and a photocopy.

I don't recall submitting our petitioner's birth certificate or a copy of it to NVC at all. We're in the F3 family based category, and I'm pretty sure we submitted a copy of my petitioner's US naturalization certificate. Do we actually need to bring the original birth certificate?

Thanks.

Husband and I had the interview today at field office in Houston. He took our IRS joint filing and tax return, joint lease, joint car insurance. At the end of the 15 minute interview, he proceeded to give us marriage advice and said that our card will be delivered in 2-3 weeks. He also explained that it is conditional and we would need to remove conditions since we're under 2 years of marriage. He also went on about how hubby could apply for citizenship in 3 years. So we thought we were approved. Then he gave us the results of the interview:

He gave us the interview results that say:

Your case is being held for review. At this time USCIS does not require further evidence or documents from you. Should further information or documents be required, you will receive a notice in the mail. We may also schedule you for another interview, you will receive a notice in the mail. Otherwise, a final decision will be mailed once your case is complete.

Anyone have insight? Are there no direct approvals for under 2 years of marriage?

Thanks

Hello,

Looking for feedback for those who used their extension letter to renew state driver s license. I ve noted posts about travel with extension letters but couldn t see mention of acceptance by DMV etc. I realize this may vary state to state.
