Do not infer a universal result from living arrangements alone. Establish the actual relationship and obtain an assessment of the qualifying spouse issue and application plan.
Use the real facts rather than a household label
The official terms refer to an eligible spouse. A private description such as “separated” should not substitute for the relevant facts or a legal assessment, and this page does not promise eligibility after a particular change.
A private adviser’s location does not establish the location or format of a government step. Bring the facts that might change the assessment: citizenship and birthplace, prior immigration decisions, current status and the intended individual or employer-sponsored route. Identify the relevant dates, unmarried status and actual process instead of promising permanent eligibility from the fee date. A bank balance or currency quote does not establish those requirements or mean the government has completed vetting. Because Gold Card uses EB-1 or EB-2 classification, the applicant must establish eligibility, admissibility, and visa availability. The page does not describe an exemption from those grounds, and nothing in it describes the gift as buying a result.
