ready to file I-751

[sepjon 0]

hi folks just a question,

My wife just recently received the notice from INS regarding the need for filing for removal of condition during the first week of Oct 09. I am in the process of filing but wont be able to send it until at least the first or 2nd week of Nov. Her Temp Green card expires in 1/25/2010. I understand that i have to file this within 90 days of the expiration. Is this ample enough time for me to process, or should i rush this and send it before the end of Oct?

Thanks any info would be appreciated

You have plenty of time. As long as you are in the 90 calendar day window before the GC expires you are good to go. Just make sure you dont send it too early, count the days backwards from the expiration date, Oct 27th is the first day you can send it in.

Good luck,

Mike.

The only advantage of sending it closer to day 90 than day 1, is that your approval window opens up earlier. You could technically send it the day before and be fine. I would not recommend doing this though. It needs to arrive at USCIS safely BEFORE your green card expires and folks have had their petitions returned for sending them too early.

You want to send it in early enough so that if you have an oops moment (forget to sign the form, or date the cheque wrong) and USCIS has to send it back to you, then you have enough time to correct your mistake and send the petition back to them and still have it arrive before the green card is expired. Start preparing everything now and send it when you are sure you have everything ready and all put together.

Short answer - yes, second week of November will be just fine. Considering the time of the year you are sending it (holiday maddness at USPS) make sure and send it certified and signature required so that you can be sure it arrives safely.

IF I have counted right, your window opens up on Nov. 21. And that's a big IF. Why not wait a few more days just to make sure you are in the 90 day window by all accounts - you never know ... someone might see your file and simply (but mistakenly) count back those 90 days like months (Feb. 25 to Jan. 25 to Dec. 25 to Nov. 25) and send it back to you.
