More details to this question:
Good day I am a permanent resident trying to remove conditions from my green card which expires in 2 months. I currently live in New york and school here but my wife moved to North Carolina last year. From your experience how much time will it take to transfer the case from New york to North carolina if I want to get interviewed there. I would appreciate your candid advise on the pros and cons. Thank you

Where both parties have signed on a joint I-751 application to remove the conditional basis of residence status, U.S.C.I.S. looks to see whether there is an ongoing bona fide marriage. Parties having separate residences usually raise red flags. You and your wife may be better off if you get back together – either you move to North Carolina or she moves to New York. I do not know the schedule of interviews in North Carolina, and I also do not know whether U.S.C.I.S. would be willing to transfer an interview from New York (if scheduled) to North Carolina if you have no residence in that state.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
