My Wife's greencard has expired

[Anh map 2,098]

Other VJ members have sent their ROC papers shortly after the GC expiration and were successful. Get it out as soon as you can.

Best of luck.

the key is having a very good reason/excuse for not being able to file w/in the 90 days, -ex. money, a family emergency and explaining this very well in writing

[Glyn and Kathy 288]

We're the case that someone posted in a link to in their reply. We're still waiting to hear but then so is everyone else who filed in November with VSC. We did have a reason that I was very truthful and honest about. I explained in detail the cause. It was accepted, our check was cashed, and we have been for biometrics.

Get it in ASAP. Write a heartfelt letter explaining why its late. Its really not THAT late (compared to ours). Good luck!

Here's a case similar to yours...hope it helps...Good Luck! http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/282319-yeah-i-know-its-my-fault/

You supposed to file 90 days before the expiration date of your green card...but you still can apply the I-751 however you need to write a letter,a good valid reason why you filed late and any evidence if possible...

Basically

So basically i'm fkd

Do I have any options or not?

No, you are not, file the I-751 ASAP, I have read may times USCIS accepts a late filing up to 30 days past due if you attach a letter with a good explanation why it is late.

Just an update it's me "BackFromTheDead" I forgot my password so I had to create another one.

After I've filed the documents like you guys told me to do so with evidence and everything else. They sent me yesterday I-797C, NOTICE OF ACTION

It says that they've received the money..

and it starts

"Your conditional resident status is extendted for a period of one year. During the one - year extension you are authorized employment and travel. (This extension and authorization for employment and travel does not apply to you if your conditional resident status has been terminated"

"In order to further process your petiotion, you will be receiving an Application support center ASC appointment notice with a specific time, date and location to capture your fingerprints, photo, and signature. You MUST wait for your appointment notice before going to the ASC for biometric processing.

You won't be deployed unless you are a soldier heading for the war zone. You mean deported. Nope, you won't be deported that easily. If they would not accept your I-751 you would have a date with an immigration judge at which point your attorney would ask the judge to put the deportation proceedings on hold and allow you to refile. Most likely, the judge would okay this.

But back to your question.

What you now have received is an extension of your Green Card, until USCIS says otherwise. Your package has been received, one of the robots has looked through it, deposited the check into USCIS's bank account, and put the file on the bottom of a big pile. Eventually an immigration officer will grab it, look though it, and may or may not approve it. Whether or not that happens is anybody's guess. But even if he or she then says "wait a minute . . . " you wouldn't be deported. Your petition would simply be denied for being submitted late. Then the games begin, but deportation would still not be on the menu for some time.
