My deepest sympathies to you and your family. You can file for ROC on your own, and I believe you can go ahead and file now and not have to wait until the 90 window before your card expires. You wil

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

You can file for ROC on your own, and I believe you can go ahead and file now and not have to wait until the 90 window before your card expires. You will need to send a copy of his death certificate and the usual evidence that your marriage was bona fide. http://www.visajourn...tions.html#7.11

THIS IS EXCELLENT ADVICE. YOU CAN FILE THE ROC ON YOUR OWN YOUR SITUATION IS GENUINE AND YOU SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUE. I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR HUSBAND. MY HEART AND PRAYERS ARE HERE FOR YOU TO VENT IF AND WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT. YOU ARE LOVED HERE AND ALWAYS WELCOME FOR OUR EMBRACE. IN TIME.. NO MATTER THE HOW LONG YOU WILL HEAL UNTIL THEN....TAKE YOUR TIME. ..LAGOSLOVE

The World is Yours to Experience....Venture out into it and find Love!

I am sorry to hear that. May u have strength and courage tru this hardtime. God Bless

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.]1st Cor 13: 4-7

I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband is also US air force and I know being military spouse is hard.

My husband will also deploy somewhere eventually. I don't know which station you are at now but let me know if I can do anything. You can contact to USCIS or maybe you can go to legal office on base to ask. Hope its smooth process for you.

as i am still grieving for the loss of my husband and still can't beleive i'm a widow at the age of 29, after losing my dad 6 months ago, it's our wedding anniversary on the 5th.

i came to this forum to ask, since my family wants to know what happens with my status, i am about to apply for removal of conditional green card next year march, but since my husband died, we'd like to know the process to take.

thanks everyone and good evening to all of you.

are you in the US? I think the military has a special way to help you because you are a widow. I also know you can self petition to remove conditions with the military deceased spouse income

I am so sorry honey.. I am pretty sure you will be able to self petition to remove conditions
