Question regarding 90 day window before GC expires?

[chillogoma 0]

Hello,

I just need to clarify what is the latest that me and my husband can submit the form to remove conditions?

I know that its 3 months prior to the expiration on the card, but I want to know an exact timeframe..

For example .. His green card expires on 02/24/2011..

So what would be the latest to submit the forms and what not.. (I need an average estimate date)

Thanks

USCIS give you 90 days to remove conditions (before your GC expires). They do that for a reason...I have read here often that life happens when you are trying to apply ROC...if you wait to late to file, and there just happens to be an error that results in your application being returned (common reasons: forms unsigned, checks with the incorrect amount or are also unsigned, among others)

There really is no reason to delay.

The latest to submit the I-751 and supporting documentation is the day that would allow USCIS to have accepted and received the application no later than February 24, 2011. If you arrange to deliver it on that date and it turns out you made an error - wrong cheque amount, unsigned form, etc. - you run the risk of the application not being accepted and you then miss the filing date when you re-submit. There does seem to be some 'leeway' and individuals who file late and can provide a very good and valid explanation for the late filing - as long as it is still within a reasonable time frame - may have their applications accepted late. It is not a good idea to let yourself consider this as a valid 'option' however, as there is no guarantee they will accept a late application. It is up to the officer who receives it whether or not he will accept it.

As marriedtomrg mentioned, why put yourself through that stress? The sooner you file (within the 90 day window) the sooner you can relax about filing and the sooner you will receive your 10 year green card. You can actually be gathering together the documentary evidence of your marriage now so when it is time to file it will just be a matter of selecting what is the best evidence that proves your marriage is valid from a pile of possible options.
