Staten Island, NY asked in Immigration Law for New Jersey

Q: Does my US citizen wife's recent unemployment impact ROC process from my Conditional GC?

My US citizen wife works as a consultant and became unemployed last year and stayed unemployed to care for our newborn. Wondering if collecting unemployment benefits for my US citizen wife - will impact the Removal of Conditions from my Conditional GC? We have been married 3+ years, and my wife was just unemployed last year during her pregnancy as she could not find another job that didnt require too much travelling or was less stressful while still being the primary caregiver for our baby. I, however have a full time job. She is actively looking for jobs and hope to find one soon that also meets our needs as a family.

A: It's not an issue for your I-751 -- the health of the marriage is the issue. You're in good shape as I see it. Enjoy your family, and best wishes to your wife on her job search.
