my wife goes to school in MD. i'm working in PA. our cases have been transfered to Philly INS last Set. During a recent walk-in AP application, an Philly INS office told us (without our cases in hand) we have to reside in same address in order to get I485 approved. i talked to my lawyer. my lawyer said the officer didn't know what he's talking. my lawyer said if it's a family based GC, it could be a problem. but it's not a problem for employment based GC. i just want to see if anyone has similar situation and what their experiences are.
