Hello Everyone,

I have a few questions and hope you can clarify them for me.

My husband entered USA on March 29, 2007 on a CR-1 Spouse Visa. He received his green card a month later. I heard somewhere that you have to apply 6 months before the expiration date on his green card, which it will be on March 29, 2009. Is this true? When am I supposed to file for the Permanent Residence green card?

• Is form I-485 the correct form to file for a permanent resident?

• Do I send form I-485 together with Biometric G-325A form and Affidavit of Support?

If anyone has gone through this process or can help me, I would appreciate it a lot. :blush:

Thank you

Luna

CR-1 visa holders ARE immigrants, they get a GREEN-card that is valid for 2 years, UNLESS they are married longer than 2 years BEFORE entering the USA on the visa, if they are married longer than 2 years before green-card is issued, then the card will be a permanent 10 year card.

Immigrants DO NOT file I-485, I-485 is only used for persons adjusting status from NON-IMMIGRANT to Immigrant in the USA, that is typically a person entering the USA on a K-Visa or some other visitor's of NON immigrant visa.

You are talking about removing conditions on the CR-Green-card, this involves filing an I-751 within 90 days before the card expiration NOT 6 months.

Yes, since he came in with a CR1 visa and not an IR1, he will have to Remove Conditions so he can get his 10 year green card.
