Hello,

Does anybody know if there are any restrictions to travel within 90 days, before filling I-751?

My GC expires June 22,2012. We are leaving (ORD, Chicago) to visit my family April 6. My husband will be back Apr 13, me and our daughter (US citizen) are staying until Apr 28 (there are certain reasons why we are doing this at this time). My 90 days period starts March 24, but I thought since I will be away for a while, it is better to file as we come back. That way I can include our travel papers and pictures into file. I am also concerned, that if we will have to go for biometrics appointment, I will still be in Lithuania and we would have to reschedule.

Or is it better to file March 24?

I would really appreaciate if somebody would share their experiance on the matter or maybe knows what it is better. I am just so confused...

Thank you!

Your plans are fine: wait to file until you return.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I'm also in the same situation - my GC expires on October 12, but I'll be returning from New Zealand on October 3. I'm going to apply long before that, in July, but is there a chance I might not be let back in so close to my GC expiring? How do they know I've applied to remove the conditions but don't have the 10 year GC yet?

I think you will be fine, if you file in July and will travel in October. If you will have your biometrics (hopefully no interview) done by your travel time, you will have extension for your green card for one year and all you have to do is take that letter with your expired GC. But if you will be back by the time your GC expires, you have nothing to worry about. Anyway, I will post my experience after I come back on April 28 as I will file just after I come back.
