Can I move to a different city while waiting for a green card?
I recently got married to an US citizen. But the problem is that I have to move away to a different city. Is that going to be a big problem on our interview? My husband and I are living together now but we would have a long distance marriage for a few months that I’m away. I’m just scared that on interview they won’t see it that way.

If circumstances (job, school, etc) require you to live apart for a while, that should not affect the outcome of your green card application as long as you provide sufficient proof of the bona fide nature of your marriage. If you are going to live apart, it just means that you will have to provide extra proof of the validity of your marriage and bring more documentation with you to the interview.
