AOS completed without interview spouse has 10 yr GC

[crew1980 1]

Hey All,

I just want to make sure we're not missing anything. Do we need to do ROC or was that done already? Trying to do everything right and stay legal. Thanks

You say a ten year card from AOS? When did you file the I-485? Profile shows entry and marriage back in 2007.

A 10 year card is un-conditional, so no conditions to remove later.

we filed back in 07 May I think. It's been so long. I thought we did everything we were supposed to do. Yes he has 10 yr GC.

Looks like they approved it after 2 years of marriage so coded you for the 10 year card, though K-1 AOS normally should result in a 2 years card no matter what, but it looks like they took into consideration the length of time they took to approve the AOS

from what i can remember, we filed 485, 765 and 131 all together within 90 days of his arrival. was that right? and is AOS and ROC 2 different things? i guess it is. hope we're not in trouble. been on here since way before 2002 researching trying to get things right. another thing is spouse is cuban so there are some special acts/circumstances that go along with this.

ok i think i know what happened now. since k-1 comes in with work auth we did file 765 with 90 days of arrival. thats when we got the 2 yr card. 4/09 is when we filed aos ead and ap. he got 10 yr gc in 9/09 good til 9/19.

but i still don't remember filing a 751. are we wrong here?

Yes you're wrong.

According to your timeline you got your 2 year card back in 2007. 90 days before that card expired (card would have expired 2009) you would have filed the I-751 to ROC. Are you sure you didn't file the I-751? It would have been around $400-500. If you accidentally filed the AOS paperwork AGAIN you would have paid $1010 (or thereabouts). Are you sure you didn't file the I-751 and you're just confused about form names/numbers?

You had to have filed an I-751 sometime in past 6 months or so, this is the only way you would get the 10 year card. The ROC would involve sending several pieces of evidence and had to be signed by both citizen and green card holder.

This is quite hard to forget.

So many letters, so many words. I would have asked only 1 question: what does the RESIDENT SINCE date on the front of her 10-year Green Card say?

my husband's gc date since is 6/27/2007

[VanessaTony 3,567]

my husband's gc date since is 6/27/2007

So as of the 29th March 2011 he becomes eligible for USC. BUT at the time of applying you need to have been married for 3 years.

According to your timeline you married 8th Feb 2007 which means you WILL have been married 3 years by the 29th March 2011 so he can apply as soon as that.. or whenever he likes after that date. I'd round it to the 1st April 2011

Congrats again and good luck
