Ali,

We need more information from you. What type of green card do you have - a 2 year card or a 10 year card? Did you get your green card through marriage to your US wife or by another means? Are you working overseas for a US employer? How long do you intend to be out of the country? Did you get a re-entry permit before you left? Is your US wife with you or is she still in the US?

(btw- I split your post off of the VAWA topic where you had originally posted it and made it its own topic so you would get answers).

I know of no way you can renew your green card while outside of the country with your wife living in the US. You don't just renew a 2 year card - you need to file to remove conditions as the 2 year card is only a conditional green card. You need to file the I-751 form and include proof that you and your wife have a valid marriage - things like joint income tax returns, shared bank accounts and credit cards, shared ownership or rental of property (houses, apartments and/or cars), children together, things like that. Since you got your travel document before you left you will be allowed back in the US even after being outside for 9 months - UNLESS your 2 year green card is expired. You need to return to the US AND file the I-751 before the 2 year green card expires. You can file as early as 90 days before it expires but you can't file after it expires. After you file the I-751 you will get a receipt that extends your green card one more year for work and travel purposes. You will also need to get your fingerprints taken in the US and possibly attend an interview together with your wife. If you succeed with this application then you receive a 10 year green card.

When does your green card expire? Is it longer than the 3 more months you need to stay in Dubai or does it expire before that?

moved to Removal of Conditions forum from General immigration as that is the appropriate process.
