Spouse interview soon for 10 year long green card, but I work outside the country.

[blackhanguk5]

Hello, I have a question regarding a case with the green card for my wife that I can't seem to find anywhere else.

Basically I am currently on a year long contract working out of the country in South Korea. My wife has a 2 year green card, but is soon to be up for interviewing for her 10 year long greencard.

Ofcourse, I WILL be able to go back to the states to join her for the Interview, but I am concerned that they will have a problem with me having to finish my contract outside the country while she has to remain in the states.

Basically my question is, are we in jeopardy? Or do I simply need to prove that I was simply working outside the country temporarily and that we still have remained well in contact for the duration of the time? I can bring all those kinds of documents. Also I still legally living in the US as my name is still on the home we live and car we drive and such.

Much appreciated if anyone can shed some light on this issue, thanks so much in advance!

blackhanguk5,

Why does your wife need to remain in the US? Is she currently in Korea with you, or has she been living in the US while you are away?

Also, when she applies to have her conditions removed from her GC, she will need to provide evidence of your bona fide relationship. The two of you must not necessarily appear for a second interview. If the evidence you provided is sufficient, there will be no interview. Of course, if you live physically separated from your wife, this will raise red flags at USCIS. That is why you should provide a lot of evidence, e.g., letters, phone bills, plane tickets, family photos, etc.) and, if necessary, make a strong case during a possible interview (if the evidence provided is not sufficient).

If your wife joins you in Korea, all she needs to do is apply for an I-131, giving reason to be with her husband during his assignment abroad. She will need to return to the US to get her biometrics taken, shortly after she filed for removal of conditions.

Hope this helps!
