anybody can help me?

after filing I-751, what to do next?

Is conditional card and green card is same?

Is green card and application for naturalization or us citizen is same?

thanks

hi,

File I-751 in the 90 days before your Green Card expires.

Get a letter in the mail extending the validity of your Green Card for one year.

Wait.

Get a letter telling you to do something. These somethings are different for most people right at this moment.

Eventually get your 10 year Green Card.

Apply for US citizenship when you are eligible.

A Green Card is a Green Card is a Green Card. Your first one (if by a new marriage) is valid for 2 years. The next one is valid for 10 years.

A person with a Green Card is called a Permanent Resident. They are not US Citizens.

A person who files an application for naturalization and is approved becomes a US Citizen. You must be a Permanent Resident for a number of years before you can become a citizen by naturalization.

There is a copy of the Guide to Naturalization in Tagalog here: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/guide.htm

It explains how one becomes a US citizen.

Good luck!

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Other Fora I Post To:

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?

Met, married, immigrated, naturalized.

So it is 3 years if you are married correct? My example is that my wife and I have been married for 2 years this November and she has been a permanent resident for 2 years in March 07' so anytime after November 08' she should be able to apply for naturalization (citizenship) because she will have been married to me (a born and raised US citizen) for 3 years AND been a permanent resident for 3 years.

If she was granted her residency in March 2005, she will be eligible to start the naturalization process in December 2007 (three years minus 90 days).
