HI EVERYONE, I HOPE THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. MY WIFE'S GREENCARD SAYS PERMANENT RESIDENT AND IT WILL EXPIRE IN MAY OF 2012. I KNOW WE WILL HAVE TO REMOVED CONDITIONS 90 DAYS BEFORE MY WIFE'S GREENCARD EXPIRES. WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS, DO WE SEND IN THE 1-751 APPLICATION TO REMOVED CONDITIONS OR DO WE SEND IN A DIFFERENT APPLICATION WHICH I THINK IS THE 1-90 APPLICATION TO REMOVED CONDITIONS. MY WIFE IS FROM THE PHILIPPINES AND WE GOT MARRY HERE IN THE STATES ON A K-1 VISA. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONDITION AND PERMANENT RESIDENT. IM CONFUSED AND I DON'T WANT ANY PROBLEMS. IM READING ABOUT PERMANENT RESIDENT AND CONDITIONAL RESIDENT. I HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN MAKE ME UNDERSTAND SO WHEN THE TIME COMES, I WILL SEND OUT THE RIGHT APPLICATION. THANK YOU ALL.

I believe all green cards say permanent resident on them. But your wife's is only good for 2 years and you must lift that "2 year condition" placed on it. You then get a 10 year card which has no conditions. See here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide.

PS. Please type in lower case. Upper case is like shouting.

i-751

You will file for Removal of Conditions (RoC) via form I-751. The cost is currently $590 including the mandatory biometrics fee and the form will be accompanied by a lot of paperwork showing that you guys lived as a happily married couple together since she became a permanent resident. Start collecting evidence now and put it all in a folder labeled USCIS. You'll need a joint bank account, file income taxes together as a married couple, ideally put your wife on the lease or mortgage, take photos of vacations and family meetings together. You get the picture. If you start collecting now, RoC will be easy for you when the time comes.

A ) You'll get better answers quicker if you start your own thread.

B ) Typing in all caps is hard to read - it's kind of like shouting. Try to avoid doing that anywhere on the internet.

C ) If your wife's green card was a 2-year green card, she is a conditional permanent resident, and you two should file an I-751.

Conversely, If her card is a 10-year green card, she is a lawful permanent resident (LPR), and she should file an I-90.

Conditional Permanent residents have exactly the same rights and obligations as LPRs, but they have a two-year green card instead of a ten-year green card, and have to file an I-751 to renew their two-year green card, instead of an I-90.
