re-entry permit during removal of conditions

[BBCC 16]

I am the USC, my spouse is a conditional GC holder.

Her conditional GC expires in February.

We both live in US but both work for a Canadian employer.

Most of the time, we telecommute from home. We feel lucky for this as we both have been unable to secure US employment since she received her conditional GC.

She has a re-entry permit for the occasions she needs to make an appearance in her place of employment in Canada. ("commuter status")

We have had no problems with the re-entry permit. All is good.

Her re-entry permit is due to expire at the same time of her conditional GC. So when we apply for her removal of conditions, they will issue a document which extends the expiration date of her GC while her removal of conditions is in progress.

During this extension period, do we need to apply for a new re-entry permit? If so, how do we do so given the unknown date which her permanent GC will (hopefully) be granted?

How do we handle her re-entry permit during this interim period.

Thanks!

When you submit I-751 to ROC, USCIS will extend the GC exactly by an year. So you can use it along with the GC to get your re-entry permit extended. You will get this extension letter with 15 - 25 days of submitting I-751 and I-751 can be submitted 90 days before the expiry date, so you will have the extension letter around 60 days before the actual GC expiry, sufficient to get your re-entry permit for another year.

Re-entry permits cannot be extended. You can only apply for a new one.
