Can I be married but living separate and apply for a green card?
Yes! Lots of people are hesitant to file a marriage-based green card if they are currently living apart from their spouse.
So long as there is a legitimate basis for the decision to live apart, this factor alone, should not impact your eligibility for a marriage-based green card.
How do you prove a bona fide marriage without living together?
There are several ways to prove a bona fide marriage if you are not currently living together. Please keep in mind that joint tenancy is only one of the factors that the USCIS considers when making a determination as to whether a “bona fide” marriage exists. To prove a bona fide marriage without living together, you should submit as many of the following other types of documents as possible: affidavits of relationship, evidence of joint children, evidence of joint finances, evidence of joint travel, 15-20 photographs (with date – place – description), etc.
