Unemployment Benfit ?

[sesa99]

My wife lost job, she is my dependent not the primary applicant in I-485, I know she can apply for unemployment benfit.

Does this cause any problem to my pending I-485 ?

we do pay extra taxes for the unemployment, don\'t we ?

Thanks in advance

I doubt that she can apply for Unemployment benefit, if she is your dependent and if you have file affidavit of support for her
But I am sure it will cause problem during Citizenship.
