After (IF!) Greg gets his K-1, then his AOS, what if we want to travel around the US, be nomads, work odd jobs to keep our little simple lives going, not having a permanant place of residence, job, or base... (like we've been doing so far).Will this look bad once he wants to get his UNCONDITIONAL Permanant Residency after 2 years? Must we sacrifice our spirits and what drew each of us to the other just to fool the people who expect us to be "normal"....? I fear in trying to be together in one or the others country, the "officials" may break the very threads that brought us together in the first place. There must be another way... if anyone else without steady jobs/lives has done this process, please share your experience, maybe it will give me a bit more hope.

Once he is a permanent resident, you won't have to prove further ability to
support him per the AOS requirements and you can pretty much do what you
like so long as it's legal. One thing to bear in mind is that he'll need to
file a change of address every time you move. Also, if he gets conditional
permanent residency, he'll have to file to remove conditions and that will
be harder if you don't have a relatively permanent address. Same thing later
if he wants to naturalize.

Thats not completely correct, the AOS obligation of support is only removed if he becomes a US citizen, has worked 40 quarters, dies, or leaves the US permanently. Even divorce doesn't cover your ass from the obligation.

I take it you were responding to my post:

If you read this closely you'll see that I never said the AOS obligation was
removed. I said you wouldn't have to prove that you meet the requirements
again. So long as you don't do anything against the affidavit (like
obtaining means-tested benefits) you can forget about the affidavit of
support after you are a permanent resident.

My bad Andy, I mis-interpreted.
