ROC while on overseas orders (expedition)

[Eva_AJ 80]

Hello

I came to US on K1 visa, did my AOS and my ROC send-in date is coming soon (in a month). My husband is active duty and we will be moving overseas next year. We don't have the orders yet.

Does anyone have experience with expediting their case for financial hardship while overseas? I've just found out that for the interview and if I need extension stamp for my ROC, I will have to go to USA. I know ROC takes different times each case but I know sometimes it can take over year (and longer) and I am stressing out about it. There is no way I can come here so often to get my stamp in my passport. I won't have orders on time to send them with my ROC as army takes forever.

Anyone had to deal with this? I would be grateful for any experience anyone might have

TIA ❤️

The NOA you'll receive once you file for ROC will extend the validity of your conditional GC for 2 years.

Oh I thought it was only for a year! That should be doable! Thank you
