When was your AOS approved? If you have a two year I-551 card that should expire two years after the AOS was approved and you can file for removal of conditions anytime within 90 days of the I-551 card expiring.

As mdyoung said.....we were told at the AOS interview that 2 years from the day the AOS was approved we can apply and that we have a 90 day window . Not 2 years after marriage....

Guero,

The I-551 stamp is typically valid for only one year. It is meant to be a temporary evidence of your status--until you get your Green Card. You now have your Green Card, so that is OK.

Look for the expiration date on your card. You must file I-751 by that date to keep your status alive. You may NOT file more than 90 days before that date.

I agree,you should file the I-751 Removing Conditions form 3 month prior or a 90 days prior before the expiration of the Conditional Card.Thus ,in your case you should file your I-751 on 3-15-07 .

Also on 3-15-08 you will be eligible to apply for the Citizenship even if you will not get the Permanent Green Card in your possession by that time,it doesen;t change anything ,you still will be able to file for the Citizenship.

Good luck!

Sincerely.

I didn't check these dates, but I like to remind everyone that they *should* check them by using a date calculator that you can find online. If you file too early, your money will be gladly taken from you, but your form will be returned to you.
