Hi guys as u all know I arrived the united states yesterday and I'm loving it here so much but at the POE the immigration officer asked us to file a form i170 or 171,honestly was too excited to remember which one he said but he says I can look it up in USCIS website and he says we should file it at least 90days before our 2nd year anniversary which is on the 26th August 2013. Please any advice on what to do?how to start?do we need a lawyer for it? Ur answers are highly needed. Thnx

When he said it - File it 90 days before 2nd year anniversary. Thats mean, 2nd year anniversary of your Permanent Resident Card, but not your marriage date. He must have told you to file ROC form I-751.

I 751 Filing Date Calculator Hope that helps, use your green card dates, not marriage date.

Thanx a lot guys was really helpful. I was wrong to think its on my wedding anniversary but it's actually when I entered the u.s. Does anyone knw the number for USCIS in Vermont? Or jus their general office. We just need to call them to verify the fee..it states $590 including biometrics.

You'll be filing in 2014 for the removal of your conditions and get a 10 year green card. You are eligible to submit ROC forms and accompanying files on October 3rd 2014. With regards to the price and how much it will be then, I'm uncertain as that fee can and probably will change by the time your eligible to apply for your 10 year green card.

But you have a long ways to go until you can file, never hurts to understand the process though. Just don't file before that date as they'll just send everything back to you.

To keep up to date on how much the fee is you should be able to see it on the official I-175 that you find at the government site. Be sure to check in with the gov site to ensure there isn't a new version of the form when it comes time for you to submit your ROC. On the instruction sheet it will let you know the fee, for when you submit the form. Again the $590 can change between now and October 2014. So I wouldn't put any stock into it being the fee you'll pay then.
