Permanent Resident Card Receive, Now What?

[frank_jhen_01 2]

It's been 1 year and 3 months since we started this K1 visa, just now my wife recieved her Permanent Resident Card, but it is only valid for 2years, i thought it's 10years, anyway i think we are in good shape, she have a working authorization card and currently working, ssn, state id, medical insurance and all the good stuff, we just want to stay in track and wondering what's the next process.

thanks

hi

if you have been married under 2 years, she will receive the 2 year GC and then have to remove conditions to get the 10 year card.

she would have gotten the 10 year card if you had been married over 2 years

the next process is removal of conditions 90 days before the GC expires.

congrats!!!!

Everybody adjusting from a k1 visa gets a 2 yr conditional greencard. Prior 90 days before her gc expires she needs to file for ROC so she can get her 10 yr gc. In the midtime just chill and enjoy your 2 year uscis free vacation. In my case, I got my ssn and my driver license with my EAD (work permit). My drivers license was valid till sept 2013, so I webt to the DMV to update it. Luckily I received a permanent (no more temporary) driver's license valid for almost 10 years. I also update my immigration status at the SSN office And I got a new one (same #)

*** Moving from K1 to ROC (Removal of Conditions) forum as that is the next process for OP ****

Now you party like it's 1999. In two years you file ROC (I-751).

Others have explained already about filing for ROC. I just wanted to point out that she no longer needs the EAD now that she has her green card. The EAD becomes invalid once the green card is approved. As a permanent resident, the green card is all she needs to prove eligibility to work and re-enter the US if traveling,

From now on, after the two year is up, it is in 10 year blocks unless she applies for USC. For your ROC start saving everything to prove your marriage in a box so you do not need to scrounge it up later. http://www.uscis.gov/dateCalculator.html Here is the calculator to help on your renewal.

As above me said, when you are married less than 2 years, you get a conditional green card which last only 2 years. After that you have to apply for Removal of conditions which will be possible 90 days before her expiration of the green card. Right now save every proof you will have during these 2 years. bank statements, utility bills, cars insurance, house insurance, life insurance (both your names should show on all), invitations from friends and family, pictures. ROC is easy if your case is straight forward. Good luck and congrats on your wife's green card.
