Removing Conditions

[SONG41 15]

After two years of being a Conditional Permanent Resident a Green Card holder must file to Remove Conditions.

The question is when is the first possible date you can apply for my husbands PR conditions to be removed.

We married in June 2009 so can we apply now to remove conditions as we will have been married 2 years in June?

Or have we got to wait until 3 months before his 2 years conditional Green Card expires?

Then at what point can he become a USC.

Thanks

Applying for ROC has nothing to do with your marriage.

It has EVERYTHING to do with your green card PR date.

You go by the date on your green card. -> 2 years minus 90 days.

After being married to the same US citizen and being a LPR for 3 years, the person can then apply for US citizenship.

Again 3yrs minus 90days.

It should basically be BEFORE 90 days of the expiration date printed on your Green card. DO NOT send it before the 90 day period starts.Neither send it too close to the expiration date. Now this link is a date calculator. To calculate the days through a clculator is important as 30 and 31 days in each month would make the difference.

Date Calculator Link

In this link:

a)put your date of expiration in the Enter Date area

b)then change the pop down menu from Add to Subtract.

c)Then type 90 in the days area.

d) then click on calculate.

Ta da ! you would get the date from which your 90 days window opens ( after which you can apply).

Hope this helps.
