passport for removal of conditions

[tachy 0]

hi everyone:

do you know if a valid passport is required when i apply for renewal of conditions of my green card? and if so for how long must it still be valid.

here is my situation:

my two year conditional green card expires in 02/2009 and my passport expires in 01/2009.

I am planning to go to germany in 04/2008 so i can not renew my passport until i come back from germany.

now i don't know when to renew my passport. should i do it after 04/2008 hoping it will be back in time for the renewal of conditions or can i wait and renew the passport after the renewal of conditions?

anyone know how long it takes to renew a german passport here?

also, when exactly can i send in my application for renwal of conditions if my greencard expires in 02/15/2009.

sorry for asking dumb questions but i have not been on VJ for a long time and i am not up to date on all that information.

thank you so much for you info in advance

greetings and it feels great to be back on VJ

not a dumb questiopn at all ,

here is the link to german consulate , you will have to look for the german consulate in your area , but german passport renewal can go between 8 - 10 weeks , also I dont know if your aware but if you took your husbands name in marriage you will have to do a name declaration before applying for the passport , so they can register your marriage in germany and issue your new passport in marriage name when you apply for it , but here you can read all about it , and good luck

a valid passport is not required for removal of conditions

This question has been coming up often on the site lately. A valid foreign passport is not required to remove conditions, in fact the VJ Guide, AND directions for form I-751 do not have passport in list of required documents.

thanks yall:

yeah i know i definitely will have to look up the guides etc before i start that removal of conditions. they are very helpful. but i still have a lot of time until then. just wanted to get your confirmation because there is another post where someone said a passport is required and that confused me.

anyway, thank you so much.
