I751 filed earlier than 90 Days

[andy desai 3]

Hello Smart Vj'ers

WHat happens if a person files the I751 way before the 90 day period. So if per say the green card is getting expired around March 2011.. and if the application goes out in nov 2010.. is that a problem?

the reason i am asking this is it takes like 6-8 months normally in processing times right? so when the card gets expired can the person travel abroad or they he/she is stuck in the US until the 10 yeat GC is

issued,

thanks for all the help in advance

Grab a calendar - count back 90 days from the date the PR/Green Card expires. If you file before that date - USCIS will reject it and send it back to you. No way around that.

Now, once you do file (in the correct timeframe), USCIS will send you a NOA that does two things.

1. Acknowledges receipt of your case
   
2. Extends the PR/Green Card status by 1-year
   

This means the Permanent Resident can still enjoy all the privilidges (work, travel, etc) as they did before the PR/Green Card expired.

The package will be sent back to you if arrives prior to the 90 day window.

When your application is accepted you will be issued a one year extension for your LPR status. That will cover the period of time for processing (in most cases). So there is no need to worry about not being able to reenter the US.
