One question if anyone can clarify please:

The new 10 year GC, is is supposed to be 10 years from original 2 years GC approval date = 8 years valid card? or add 10 years to the 2 years conditional GC = 10 years valid card?

Sorry if my question is confusing, but I hope to know which is the answer. Thanks!

One question if anyone can clarify please:

The new 10 year GC, is is supposed to be 10 years from original 2 years GC approval date = 8 years valid card? or add 10 years to the 2 years conditional GC = 10 years valid card?

Sorry if my question is confusing, but I hope to know which is the answer. Thanks!

The card is valid for full 10 years from the day it was issued (few days after I-751 approval). But the only 2 dates on it is "expiration date" and "resident since" date which is the date the conditional GC was issued. So in my case, "resident since" is october 2006 but expiration date is 2019, not 2016.

The physical green card is valid for 10 years since date of issuance, whatever that is.

The status, once conditions are removed, NEVER expires.

If in 10 years you forget to renew your green card, your status is still legal, you just don't have "plastic proof".

However, if you break the residence requirement before the green card expires, your status could be revoked.

Basically, once conditions are removed, there's nothing else required to do from the immigrant.

Just a renewal every 10 years. Just like the driver's license, but with no eye exam... :D

Hey, I'm resident since Oct 2006 as well, and my wife is russian, so we have something in common.

We will probably apply for citizenship around the same time...

They will just probably make them all smaller. Or if things go the way they do, they will probably take out all of them and leave only the "Messiah" and rewrite history like they do back in the old country...He would probably have to find his birth certificate first though and not get impeached for violating the Constitution... sorry for offtopic
