Thanks. Just wanted to make sure there's no downside or risks of applying (immigration related, effect on ROC or N400) , if turns out they aren't eligible, that's fine. 

Nothing to worry about.

The current administration's interpretation of the public charge rule doesn't include Pell Grants or college financial aid

Yeah I understand that as a conditional green card holder they are eligible but because they have a bachelors degree from home country (3 years), they might not be eligible for fafsa so that's what I was inquiring about. Whether it's still ok to apply despite the bachelor's degree to get to see what options they might have. Seems like it's risk free to apply?

Yes.

And the only condition on his green card is that he makes you the happiest USC spouse in the world 😂

Having a foreign degree might get you less money/options.  But, it will not affect your immigration journey AT ALL.  If anything, having and adding education to your repertoire and wanting to be a USC means USA can benefit from it as well.

It is risk free to apply, it will show you what other options you DO have if you are ineligible for the Pell Grant.  Likewise, having no results or not wanting the options they give you could give you an opportunity to see if the college itself will be willing to help or has local resources, etc.
