Help! Will this affect my pending ROC?

[usay 0]

Hi everyone

I filed for joint ROC at VSC in November 2016 with my USC wife and submitted plenty of good faith marriage evidence.I already received my NOA1 and went in for my biometrica appointment.

In December 2016 the company were I work at got acquired by an out of state company and wanted to shut down and move to the state next to us. They offered me a position with them and offered to keep my seniority and benefits plus a $3 raise but I declined because I had hopes I will find a job in same state even if it pays a bit less. The thing is I kept looking for 2 months and I didnt find any job, I applied for some and didnt even hear back. I am the major breadwinner in the house and I carry the insurances. At that point I had no other choice than taking the job and relocating since its a 3 hours ride one way. This way I can still pay bills and have insurance and be able to support myself and my wife although she works part-time due to medical reasons and having kids. I plan on going back to my house every Friday Saturday and Sunday or my wife will come up to my new place to spend the weekend together, meanwhile I will keep looking for a job down there.

I found a place in the same state as we are now but up north closer to the job (its 30 mns ride vs 3 hours ride). I changed my address on USCIS website and I asked the HR department for a letter stating that I was working for 17 month at the old company and it got acquired on Demeber 2016 and I was offered a job with keeping benefits and vacation time if I relocate. I was thinking to mail a copy of this letter to USCIS after the online address change so they know why I changed my address. I dont know if this is a good idea?

 

Will all this affect my ROC or is it grounds to get denied?

 

I need your comments and thoughts please.

 

Thank you.

as long as you can give a valid reason as to why you have to do this which you are it should be fine. the roc is about proving the marriage is real and uscis knows that life happens. the key part is that you are spending time together and have combined finances.

 

good luck
