We just got approved for the conditional green card!

[Eshansmommy 2]

Hey everyone

We just got our approval notice for the 2 year green card. I know that I won't have to do anything for about 2 years now, and then 90 days before our 2 year wedding anniversary we will have to "remove conditions", right???

Will I have to send in everything that I did for the AOS or is this last application very simple? I mean, all the documents? Proof of sponsorship? Or is that not necessary anymore? New medical and all that? Or is it much easier and simpler?

Do I have to remove conditions or can I straight file for citizenship?

How much will this application cost us?

Will there be another interview?

What will they check with this step? That we are still married and our marriage is bona fide, like with the first green card? Is it going to be another thorough check? Are there a lot of denials in this step or do most people get approved? Since we got already this far, that the application most likely will be approved?

Sorry, lots of questions, but I just want to relax, and be done and over with the USCIS. I don't want to relax and start my career and college, and social life here to then be disappointed and get denied and deported, if you know what I mean.

Congrats!

The green card issued typically has an expiration date of two years. Within 90 days of the expiration of the two year period, the couple and dependents who received green cards must file a petition with the USCIS for removal of the conditions. The application and supporting documentation are filed using Form I-751.

Not your marriage date.

Hi Eshansmommy,

Congratulations!! on getting your 2 yr GC. Yes like Bobby_Umit said you will have to apply for removal of conditions 2 years on the GC minus 90 days. Example you got GC on 04-01-07 after 2 years. you GC will expire on 04-01-09 so your 90 day window for removal of condition will start 01-01-09.

Please remember don't apply before your 90 day window, USCIS will return your application or do apply after your GC expires, you will be put to deportation proceeding. Also don't apply too close to your GC expires. Apply at least 50-60 days before your GC expires, in case something happens you can resend the documents etc.

For a complete list of document ,read the following thread.

Start making history of documents, joint account, photos, tax returns etc.

Also the current form for remval of condition is I-751, don't know what USCIS will call it after 2 years so

please check USCIS for latest forms and Instructions. (google uscis remove conditions)

Right now it gives page for I-751 and It's instrutctions.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

So please check USCIS website for latest forms, rules and fees 2 years for now. USCIS do revise their forms every once or twice a year.

Hope it helps.

Enjoy your 2 years of not dealing with USCIS.
