Removal of Conditions- Where to File

[Roh&Dee 4]

Hello Everyone.

I am in the Navy and right now at Great Lakes Naval Base IL, I am in training status and not allowed to go on leave until done with school which is long. My wife Conditional residency is expiring end of May and we want to File for the Removal of Conditions. Right now she is in Rochester NY, So my question is where do we file the Application for removal of conditions. If we file in Rochester NY and she gets an interview will I have to be there? since I cant what do we do? Can we file the application in Chicago and she just come to Chicago for the interview? Any Help is greatly Appreciated.

Thank you

So my question to you is do you and your wife have a permanent home? Your permanent residence would come in to play when you are applying. If you guys reside in NY, you will have to file in Vermont.
