Do I file the I-751 before 90 days or after 90 days of green card exp?

[ichigo85 6]

I read somewhere where I need to file it before the 90 days of the expiration date shown on the green card. Also, do I need to send one for my my wife(green card holder) and one for myself??

No that's not true you need to be married within 90 days of entering the USA.

I think you are in the wrong section... OP is talking about removing conditions on their GC. OP, you have to file your I-751 within 90 days BEFORE expiration of your conditional Green Card.

PS: It'll help others.

You are removing conditions on the immigrates green card not yours. Ther's only one I-751 filed. You don't have conditions to remove.

And thats a 90 day window you can file on the 90th day or 1 day before.

There is a 90 day window before the expiration date on your wife's greencard in which you can file for removal of conditions. If you file too early, it will be returned to you. If you file too late, your wife's greencard will expire and she will be out of status. It is strongly recommended that you file as close to the beginning of your 90 day window as possible. Mailing your packet in the first week or two is best. That will help avoid any problems with lost packages and will give you time to straighten them out if they should occur.

Yep, I read this wrong. Of course, if OP is the US citizen and his wife is the conditional GC holder, SHE has to file, not him.

What of if you expiration date is June 1st 2018 and you file in April 24 2018. Are you still in window of 90 days?

If your card expired June 1, then your 90 day window opened March 3, so yes!
