WHEN TO APPLY???

[Kotenochek 0]

Dear All,

I have a question regarding filing timing.

On my interview,where i received first green card i was told to apply for 2nd one at least 9 month prior the expiration date, due to their overload.

However USCIS page says i must apply within period of last 90 days before my first green card expires.

My question is which one is the right way to do? And how long does the whole process take?

thank you

application window opens 90 days prior to the expiration date on the card.... about 6 mos. ago CSC was doing the I-751's within 60-90 days... VSC was a bit slower....

Probably the IO said 2 years 9 months, which is a rough and lousy method to estimate since 3 months don't necessarily equal to 90 days, (unless you are Jan, Feb and March and not a leap year )....

But others are correct, 90 days from the 2nd year residence anniversary.
