I've got three questions:

1. timing - Could you please tell me how long did it take for you to get your permanent green card from when you filed your I-751 petition? How long does it usually take? I've got very different answers...

2. My US-citizen spouse is moving to a different state for job later this year and we need to file our I-751 at the end of this year. But I'd like to finish the projects that I'm working on. This means I may need to stay here till early next year. Is our physical separation going to be a problem? I mean we'll still have both our names on the leases, joint bank account, etc. But physically we need to do long-distance for less than a year. (We've been married for almost 3 years and have all the evidence to prove bone-fide.) Is this gonna be a problem?

3. I'm planning on going back to school next fall (2010). What if my permanent GC is still not granted by the time I go back to school? Is it gonna look really bad that we physically separate for a year for job then separated again for school?

Thank you!!
