thats a really good question. I am wondering the same thing. Im sending my husbands AOS papers next week and i have been wondering, how much of a 'rest' from the paperwork do i really get? Cause if the green card is good for 2 years, i obviously cant wait till it is expired to apply for the next 1. Anybody know?? cause i want to know too

I got the green card 07/29/2008 and it's valid for 2 years until 07/29/2010.

When and how do I start to apply for the next permanent resident card and/or citizenship?

You got a conditional residency. you should apply 90 days before it expires to remove conditional residency. Not before Aril 29, 2010

Your next step will be to remove the conditions on your conditional green card, the window opens 90 days before your 2 year card expires. You must apply before the 2 year card expires. Read the guides, they really help...

No longer in the hands of the USCIS, for my wife at least, next up MIL.

You cannot just apply for citizenship. You need to remove conditions first, then you can apply for citizenship.

You are not eligible to apply for citizenship until you have had permenent resident status for 3 years. So you still have to remove conditions first, get your 10 year card, then one year into that card, you can apply for naturalization.

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!
