It's been two years and I need a refresher!

Hello VisaJourney!

It's been nearly two years since my wife received her permanent residency status. Things have been great! We have enjoyed a lot of great times and have had a chance to save up some money and are now looking to get her into college. It's been so long since I've filed any paperwork like this that I'm wanting to try and start early and really make sure that I do everything correct. Everybody here was so much help through the first bit of the process that I'm hoping I can run into more of the same. Here are the questions that I have:

1. Can you send the I-751 prior to 90 before your two year anniversary or should you wait? She received her permanent residency status on November 15, 2010.

2. I have recently lost my job. I have been looking for another one without much luck. I was considering filing for unemployment but am afraid that it could negatively affect my wifes immigration status. Am I worrying about something I shouldn't or should I avoid getting unemployment?

3. My wife has applied for multiple colleges around the US. If we are accepted into one of these schools we planned on moving out of the state we live in. We live in KY. If we move it will be around May or June. What do we need to do when we move? How will that affect her status? What will do that do to her residency card? How will that affect the I-751?

4. Does everybody have an interview when they apply for their conditions to be removed? What do we do if we plan on moving? What should we do to plan ahead to make sure we have everything set up to where we can have the interview, if necessary, in a location near to us.

We are extremely excited about moving but are a bit worried about any complications it could create in our immigration status. Thanks to everybody who helps us with this and I hope everybody is have great luck with their journey. We love you all!!

No you cant send it prior to 90 days. Must be within the 90 days.

ROC has nothing to do with income. Employment issues wont affect her immigration.

You would file a change of address when you move. It doesn't do anything to the green card or immigration status.

No not everyone has an interview for ROC, many people do not have an interview. The interview if you have one is done at local USCIS.

Ditto to Inky's answers.

In regards to moving. You file an AR-11 and your USC does an I-865 (the sponsor must also change their address when they move). You can only file for ROC in the 90 days which for you means August so it won't affect your ROC.
