Hello! My wife and I went through the AOS process in 2008 and received the first Permanent Residence Card. However, it expires June, 2010. Now, I've heard we need to do something called "removing conditions from green card"....well, I'm confused on what we need to do. What are we required to do in this process?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

December 5, 2005: We met online and our lives changed--instant connection, became best friends

May 15, 2006: She is put on temporary hold from her job and asks me if I could hold on for her in the event she didn't get the job back. I said "yes, of course" and she finally proclaimed her love to me and admitted she'd loved me since February.

September 25, 2006: I land in Manila airport and rush into my baby's arms for the first time. We were both surprised to realise we were NOT nervous.

September 25, 2006: Our first kiss :P

September 27, 2006: I proposed to her in person and she accepted! :)

December 20, 2006: Mailed I-129 K1 petition to Texas service Center

January 15, 2007: Petition returned to me rejected :/ (placed wrong amount on check--duh!)

Febrary 10, 2007: Resubmitted the petition adding updated info pages and a CORRECT check

February 26, 2007: NOA1

May 28, 2007: I land in Manila on our anniversary and we feel whole and complete yet again :)

June 20, 2007: NOA2 which said it would take six months for an interview (Dunno why it said that)

August 4, 2007: My baby receives Packet 4 unexpectedly out of nowhere--the frantic cramming begins

August 23, 2007: Frantically prepared documents FedExed

August 30, 2007: My baby has a long two days at St. Lukes but checks out fine! :)

September 6, 2007: Interview date: after 8 agonising hours--APPROVED!!! :D

September 6, 2007: Plans for her arrival in January 2008 for our wedding are established! :)

January 28, 2008: Marriage

It is called Removing or Lifting of Conditions (removing the 2-year marriage condition).

The 'how to' & 'what's needed' is all laid out in the Step-by-Step Guide on Removing of Conditions (Form I-751) .

**Topic is related to 'Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion' ; moving thread there.

Thank you very much for the info! This forum has been my lifeline throughout this entire process!

So, if you don't mind I have one more question......my wife and I are aware of the 90 day window to file the forms. Her card expires in June but our financial situation will likely have us sending the packet sometime in April. Should that allow enough time?

Thanks a million! :thumbs:

Absolutely - can file any time during that 90-day window (it opens 90 days before the card expires and closes the day the card expires), April is somewhere right in the middle.

Again--thanks. This forum never lets me down when I have questions regarding this process. After these conditions are removed I won't have to worry about anything for ten years, LOL!

Yes indeed... unless of course you decide to become a US citizen, in which case you could be dealing with another (and final) process as soon as about a year later.. :wacko:
