Re: Unemployment benefit eligibility and Greencard
1. Yes, if you meet the criteria which would apply to any resident applicant of the Commonwealth for these particular benefits.
2. No, whether or not you received unemployment benefits which you were legitimately entitled to will have no effect whatsoever on whether you may later qualify for lawful permanent residency.
