You should renew your permanent resident card if you are a permanent resident who was issued a Form I-551 valid for ten years, and that card is either expired or will expire within the next six months.

Please note: If you are a Conditional Resident and your status is expiring, these instructions do not pertain to you. You are to use Form I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence) to apply to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status.

After filing your application, USCIS will inform you in writing when to go to your local USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for your biometrics appointment.

If You Never Received Your Permanent Resident Card:

If USCIS mailed you a Permanent Resident Card more than 30 days ago and you have not received it; and

It has been returned to USCIS by the Post Office as undeliverable; and

You have not moved from the address you provided to USCIS during the application or immigrant visa process that led to the creation of the card not received, or

Your Permanent Resident Card was issued with incorrect information because of a USCIS administrative error.

In both of these instances, you must prepare a Form I-90. On the first page of the application, under Part 2, Application type, Number 2, Reason for Application, check box "b" which reads: "My authorized card was never received," or box "d" which reads "My card was issued with incorrect information because of a USCIS administrative error." Include any documents that support your claim with your application.

For those applicants who check box "b," you must send a copy of your Form I-797, Notice of Action, that you received for your previously filed Form I-485, Form I-751, or Form I-90.

For those applicants who check box "d," you must submit the original Form I-551 card containing the incorrect information that supports the requested correction.

If your biographic data has been legally changed:

Submit a copy of the original court order or a certified copy of your marriage certificate reflecting the new name with your application. To replace a card because of a change of any other biographical data, you must submit copies of documentation to prove that the new data is correct.

If it is necessary to change any information on your submitted I-90 application, please bring evidence to support the change with you to your in-person appearance at your local ASC. Do not send written correspondence regarding changes.

Change of Address

From your timeline, it looks like you are applying for Removal Of Conditions. You got your GC through marriage to a USC? If so, you need to file I-751 form and the filing fee is $545 + $80 for biometrics.

here is a direct link to USCIS's webiste for the I-751 form

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

You have a window of 90 days to apply. So since you are Mar. 5th, 2010, which is within the 90 day window - so you can apply now. Please see other threads in this forum to help you establish a good list of evidence and documents you should mail with your I-751.

Good Luck!

You meant $465 + $80 = $545 right ?

$545 is the correct total fee.

Shami, it is very important that you do not file late when you file to Remove Conditions - you need to file during the 90 day window of time directly before the 2 year green card expires. The application form itself is very straight-forward; what is most important is that you provide all of the evidence they request to show that your marriage is indeed valid and not entered into to gain a green card. There are some great lists of documents that people have submitted provided in this forum so don't hesitate to read over the other posts that list what evidence people included. It will give you some great ideas of things you can use.

Read over this guide to Removal of Conditions as well - it will provide you with what you need to know. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=751guide

Good luck.
