Hello everyone!

Almost 2 years since I posted here in VJ, but I guess I'm back!

I entered the USA as a CR1 conditional permanent resident on 4/12/2012. So my understanding is that I can file for ROC on 1/12/2014 at the soonest, right?

Today, I got a letter in the mail from the Department of Homeland Security, USCIS, entitled "Notice of Requirement to File Joint Petition to Remove the Conditional Basis of an Alien's Permanent Resident Status". It's good to know that they remember me but I would have preferred a Happy Holidays card I guess... (I missed a couple heartbeats when I saw the envelope in our mailbox!)

I didn't know that USCIS were sending reminders, but like I said I haven't been around VJ for a good while. What confuses me is that the letter basically says I must file for ROC, but fails to mention an earliest date to apply. It does NOT say that I must wait for Jan 12 to send my application, it kind of urges me to send it without further details. I just want to confirm that the 90 day window is still valid.

90 days from the expiry on your card. Not a day before. They are sending it out usually 30 days before that 90 days ticker to give you time to prepare.

Thank you!

It would be helpful if they mentioned it in the letter... We were gonna start preparing the package just after Christmas anyway!

Got the same letter in the mail, I agree, sure would be nice if they tell you WHEN you are eligible to send in your petition, especially since they won't accept it even one day early. Thank goodness for Visa Journey!! :)

Apparently they have started doing this :) I filed in April 2013 and my expiration date was in July and I never got a reminder letter.

Good luck!

ROC Journey:

4/24/13 - Submitted I-751 application

4/26/13 - I-751 officially filed

6/11/13 - Biometrics done

8/14/13 - Rec'd RFE

9/21/13 - Submitted RFE response

9/23/13 - RFE response rec'd at VSC

(about 2 months later)

11/21/13 - Service request via Tier 1 submitted

12/11/13 - Response to service request rec'd - vague info about processing times

12/12/13 - Service request via Tier 2 submitted

12/10/13 - APPROVED!!! (letter rec'd 12/14/13)

12/16/13 - 2nd Service request response rec'd

12/17/13 - Card production email/text rec'd (online case updated)!

12/24/13 - Notification rec'd via email regarding card mailed on 12/23/13 (online case updated as well)

12/26/13 - 10-yr card rec'd!

One thing I have learned on this journey:

There is no such thing as an "overkill" evidence package. Submit anything and everything you can. Who knows what will prevent you from getting an RFE.

We got a reminder letter, too, with no time frame. Very weird and vague. At first, it worried me because I knew we weren't in the 90 day time frame and thought I missed something, lol.
