Permanent resident card

Meauxna,

You are right, 90 days doesnt always mean 3 months. I put 3 mo for the sake of the argument.

Anyway, the only reason this is specified in the application is so people don't file TOO early. It doesnt really matter if it gets there 90 days before your card expires or 88 days, or 45 or 12 or even a week. As long as they process it before your card expires (even then, i think it's ok), it should be alright. INS didnt want people to start filing too early, like a year before, because the whole principle of being married for 2 years would be compromised.

Hope this helped.

Aussielad is the one that has made this distinction. In another post as well, but it makes no sense in regards to the I-751 topic.

90 days means 90 DAYS, or 3 months, or 2160 hours, or 129600 minutes, or 7776000 seconds. Which doesn't even matter when you file your application via mail, since you can't be THAT accurate with the postal service. It's not like you have to file at a certain hour. You have the whole 90 days to submit.

I hope this is clear!

Happy Haloween!

Maybe Aussielad is confused between calendar days and business days. Now, THAT would make sense! But still, it has nothing to do with our topic.
