Hey everyone.

I have been kind of out of the loop and now I need your help again.

We got married Feb 28 2009 and I got my 2yr green card shortly after. I know we are supposed to start the process of filing for removal of conditions 90 days before the 2yr mark. That's coming up in about a month.

What do I need to do?

Please point me in the right direction.

Thank you so much

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/86-removing-conditions-on-residency-general-discussion/

there is a whole forum on it with the guide on top

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Agreed - the removal of conditions forum is helpful for everyone. At this stage, having come from Canada has no bearing on experience. Best to apply on time (why give yourself a headache) and everything should fall into place. Very few people seem to have interviews or major issues.

Looks like you received your green card in May, so you're looking at removing conditions around February.

It is not based on your marriage, but your 'resident since' date on your card

Good luck
