Conditional greencard and applying for UE?

[Hana1220 0]

Hi. I have a conditional green card through spouse sponsorship and will be two years in Feb 2021. I will have to apply for removal of condition by then. I was wondering if I would be considered public charge in case I apply for UE due to Covid-19? Thank you

1) Public charge is not an issue for ROC.

2) By UE do you mean Unemployment Compensation (UC)? I'm not sure what UE is.

UC is not a public charge issue. It's a system you and/or your employer pays into and you earn benefits from.

Thanks for the reply. I meant unemployment insurance since Covid-19 has affected my working hours and wasntvsure by applying for unemploymentinsurance,  I would be consideredpublic charge. 🙁

So yes, UC (or UI/SUI) not UE.

No issue here. Use it if you're qualified under your state's program.
