CONFUSION ABOUT THE FORM I-751

[anna_monroe 0]

hi VJ's. im back here at the website. i just got here at US since nov.20..and i tried to post my timeline,but i cant get through coz of some internet problems with my pc. i'll update this soon.

anyway, someone can help me understand about the Form I-751? as far as i know,only the couples which have less than 2 years of marriage can apply for this I-751(removed of conditional status), but me and my hubby married for more than 2 years since i approved and received my 2 year resident card. do we require to file this form? and is it right to receive only 2 years of resident card instead of 10 years? and also,it said that the expiration date indicated on my 2 year permanent resident card, will be our 2nd year wedding anniversary, but the date indicated on my card is nov.20,2011,its not our wedding anniv. our wedding anniv is july and it is for 3rd year?

someone help me to understand.. i appreciate it in advance.. thank you.

I751 is for 2yr greencard holders to removal the conditional residence and move to a 10 yr green card. You will need to file it if you don't want to run out of legal residence status (obviously you do not). So yes - you need to apply if you want to stay in the country. USCIS isn't going to automatically send you a 10 yr card

Don't get hung up on how long you've been married or when your anniversary is, it has to do with when your 2 yr card expires.

You've said a couple of confusing things above - in 1 sentence you said you'd been married more then 2 yrs since you were approved and then you also say that your 2 yr card expires on your 2nd wedding anniversary. Which is it?

Regardless - you can apply for Removal of conditions up to 90 days in advance of when your 2 yr card expires...good luck.

When you applied for the cr-1 visa way back when you were not married for 2 yrs or more,thus you got the cr-1 visa, correct? Now the basis of the 10 yr green card is based on when you entered the usa and activated that cr-1 at the port of entry! You should have your green card, correct? on it there is an expiration date. 90 days before that expiration date you can file the I-751. doesnt have to be exactly 90 days,just within 90 days and NOT before 90days! Again that expiration date has to to do with the date you entered the USA,NOT your wedding anniversary. Simply---go by the expiration date on the green card!!

Did you understand this now?

Since your 2-year Green Card expires on November 20, 2011, you and your husband together must file the I-751 for Removal of Conditions between August 21, 2011 and November 20, 2011. The earlier,the better.
