Living apart from your spouse

In your case, because you are using the 5 year rule, it doesn't matter whether you are living apart, living together, or divorced (unless you spent an extended period outside the US while your spouse and children remained in the US, and you want to use their presence in the US as evidence of your ties to the US).

Living apart can trigger request from USCIS to prove that you are financially supporting your wife and children, regardless if you are filing under 3 or 5 year rule.
 
we are living apart due to school. we file taxes together and all bill sunder both names.. i have to take care of my parents(which live with me) and she went away to live with her mom and because the cuts in schooling. she could not get in here so she went away. is well siupported and understandable. i sent al my papers and they still sent me a second interview. maybe they want to see me again.... i remember getting some dates as far as address lil different but was because i dont recall all the exact dates.. besides that i dont think any other issue should come up...
we r strong and happily married just living apart. but we still have all paper work in the address i live at... i already a permanent resident by the way...thank

For that I am planning to get documents of me sending money to home country to an account which has my name and spouse's name on it. Plus I plan to take a letter from spouse mentioning that marriage is in good health etc, not sure if it should be certified by indian lawyer or one in usa, or neither, or may be both.
 
should i brng a letter from my wife saying marriage is still good and she is going to school away?

Marriage health is not the issue since you are filing under 5 year rule. The question that may arise is if/how you currently support your wife and child back home. I wouldn't worry about getting documentation since your verbal response should be sufficient during interview.
 
Married GC holders but living apart due to schooling; filing for citizenship

Hi all:

Me and my spouse both got our GCs five years back; I was on EB-2 GC and her status was my spouse. My spouse is now living in a different state where she is in graduate school. Since both of us are non-citizens, will USCIS see this as a problem? Also, our USCIS centers, based on our local addresses, are different. Should we file separately to the different centers?

PLEASE NOTE: NEITHER ME NOR HER WERE US CITIZENS. (I know there is a lot of discussion about showing joint bank accounts etc when one person gets a GC by marrying a citizen, but our case is not like that).

Thanks for yous help in advance.

Your situation is not worth the worry or concern that a marriage based immigrant would face.

As for her, unless she is paying out of state tuition and is affirmatively maintaining her "home" address (with you), she needs to file based on her real current residence address.
