My step-daughter has recently received her 2-year green card (hooray!). She is currently 18 - will there be any difference in the way we need to do her ROC when the time comes? I am not clear on when the minors LPR status "parts" with the mother in the case of a K-1/K-2 pair. Any clarity is appreciated.

It is my impression that once the K-1 and K-2 successfully "Remove Conditions" the K-2's status is not dependent on the parent's K-1 status.

A K-1 that remains married to the USC after three years of being a LPR can apply for US citizenship. The K-2 has to wait for five years of being a LPR before they can apply for US citizenship.
