You're quite right Joe, that Paul was at Corinth when the Romans letter was written & then planned to go to Jerusalem to deliver the collection received for the poor folk in Palestine. However, his plans to go to Rome & onto Spain ( Romans 15:24) changed, when he was arrested in Jerusalem & so he may never have got to see the Roman believers, nor did he get to Spain.
Therefore, I understand the salutation given for Andronicus & Junia (his kinsmen & fellow prisoners), probably relate to one of his three imprisonments, that we know of. We're not told which one, or even if Paul was in custody at other times that is not written about in the Scriptures. Anyway, he knew that couple well enough & no doubt their witness was also vibrant as his was, that brought them into Roman bondage at some point.
However, I thought Paul was at Corinth and then travelling to Jerusalem at the time this epistle was written - not yet a prisoner in Rome.
Maybe the explanation is "fellowprisoners" in Jesus Christ.
Will someone please clarify? TIA.
