I have been separated from my husband for a little over a year, i’m i still considered married?
I was married for 12 years before separating from my husband. I ha a green card for ten years but its now going to expire and I would like to apply for citizenship.
When I looked at the forms, their is a part where they ask about your spouse and I’m not sure if I have to fill out that part. And if I had to, I can’t get that information now given that we are not together anymore.
My Question is, how can I go about this?

Separation does not dissolve a marriage. You remain married until you and he are divorced; or the marriage is annuled (assuming there were grounds for annulment); or one of you dies (or is declared dead). Speak to an immigration attorney about what to do in your situation.
