Joint Filing ROC?

[shayden10 78]

Hey VJ friends,

 

I am currently waiting for my conditional green card but I am just looking through the forms for ROC and Naturalization and came across part three, joint filing. I was wondering if there are multiple forms I am submitting? I read the guide and it only provides one form. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into what this means?

I know it is WAY in advance but my husband and I just started new jobs, we are looking at plots of land to build a house, and I really just want the ROC process to be as smooth as possible. 

Also, when applying for ROC, do I also apply for a new employment authorization document when sending in my paperwork for ROC?

Thank you in advance, and any additional tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

As it's stated on the i751 part 3, it's joint filing when you apply for it based on your marriage to a USC and you're still together and your spouse is willing to file jointly with you. If they are not, you require a waiver, which is the section right after. It applies to people who entered a marriage with a USC in good faith, but they divorced, died, were battered, etc. 

 

no ead, since you'll have a gc already, you're just applying for another gc without the conditions. Between your first gc expiring and getting the new one, they give you an extension letter, making you eligible to continue with your employment

Okay that's what I thought, I just wanted to clarify!
