To start- My wife came here to the U.S on a K-3 Visa and does have a Conditional Green Card which does not expire until January of 2010. We will be filing to have the conditions removed within the 90 Days prior to the expiration.

My concern though is that my wife has been working since January/2009 and I just now seen that her employment Authorization Card exired in March/2009. So then I decided to also look at her Visa , it expired in February of 2009.

Im really worried about this. We have a baby now together and love my wife even more than the day we married. I am just kicking myself in the butt for not addressing this issue earlier. Are we okay? Please Help!

The conditional green card is all you need to work, to travel, to remain in the US. Just don't let it expire. Forget the visa and EAD, you're done with those.

When the green-card is issued the EAD is VOID. Green-card IS work authorization.

K-3 is also not valid either it is considered to be VOID the moment the green-card is issued., K-3 visa is for NON-IMMIGRANTS to enter the USA, your spouse is an IMMIGRANT she has a GREEN-CARD.

When you apply to remove conditions the receipt letter will extend the validity of the green-card which extends the work permission for a year, as well as allows re-entries from trips abroad.

Also, if you applied for the SSN and received it before the GC, remember you'd need to return to the SSN office to have restrictions removed.

So Nice to hear from you YuAndDan. You and a few select others were my main contributers to helping me through the Visa process. I could have never done it with out you (and the others). Thankyou So Very Much!

I have to tell ya- all the time and help you give to others really says alot about what kind of person you are, as is true about the "select others" I mentioned in my other reply. I dont want to cut anyone short because from my experiance- everyone usually helps everyone on VisaJourney.com , but there are a few like yourself that have really stood out and became a very valuable asset to us all. So Thanks Again YuAndDan and God Bless! Gary & Marie
