    I owned our home before we married. We merely added a note about this to our cover letter, showed that my spouse was listed on our Homeowners Insurance, and submitted our NY Driver's Licenses - both with our home address. We had no issues. Sukie in NY

    Oh, Jeez. What a &*$%storm. So very sorry to hear this. You are one of the most organized people on this list. Surely there is a way through. Do you live in a state with a sympathetic senator? Sukie in NY

    Shin, it is your documentation that will speak for you. Make it EASY to see that you "do life" together, even when you are apart. We were also a same-sex couple (one of the first to file when DOMA fell. You'll get through it! When you submit your documentation, write a cover letter explaning your live/work situation. Don't make USCIS "guess" at how the two of you do life. USCIS does understand job markets and new grads! Sukie in NY

    There are often couples who have to be separated due to work - medical residents, academics, etc. Your job,, as OldUser says, is to document your trips to visit each other. Keep ALL airline tickets, bus tickets, receipts for gas, hotels, if applicable, plus records of how often you speak to each other online or on the phone. It is not insurmountable. It's just a little different. Also document your time with the relatives who are supportive of you. Best of luck on your journey!!! Sukie in NY

    If you have sent evidence - like a bank statement or credit card statement or a copy of a lease - make sure you send ALL the pages! Don't just send the summary! Good luck! Sukie in NY

    As two others have said, get in front of any questions with a letter of explanation of your lifestyle. Pictures of the van, documentation of where the van has been, and where you park it. Vive le difference! In Australia they have a name for retired people who sell up and travel in their camper vans - "Grey Nomads"!!! Sukie in NY
