how late can I file

[gooberlove 0]

Oh my god, I never thought that those 2 years would go by so fast. This is amazing!

So I need to remove conditions on my green card. I know that I need to do it in a 90 days window before the 2 year anniversary. However, for personal reasons (my husband being abroad), I can't do it early in the 90 day periods. Can I do it in the last 20 days? Is it risky? Are the 90 days for the day of posting or for the day USCIS need to have received it?

Thanks in advance. I have been using this website so much while getting my green card the first time, and I am happy to be back.

Yes, that should be safe... It should be enough time for them to file the NOA before the 90 days are up, that you will be on the save side... good luck (like your username )

You'll be fine. Technically you're fine even if they get it the last day. Obviously the earlier you file, the earlier your conditions can be removed.

Thank you guys. I am going to download everything and get to work.

You should be fine but just make sure you triple check everything you send, make sure the form is entirely filled in and signed, the check or m/o is made out perfectly and that the front and back copy of your GC is in there.

I know it all goes without saying, of course but the last thing you want when you're filing closer to the end of the window is for them to reject the packet for some little slip up because then you will be very tight for time.

Thanks Jeremy. I would think that if I need to refile, this could be done after the due date as long as I have tried to file the first time on time. Would a RFE mean that I would be too late? That's scary...
