Hi you said "Temporary Green Card" when did she enter the US.

No, you don't need fingerprinting yet that comes after you mail your i-751 to remove the conditions on her green card.

Please read the guide here: http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

Fill out the form carefully, go passport photos taken, pull all your documentation of bonafide marriage and co-mingling of finances together

You still have time to pull everything together before it's considered late.

As soon as you have the whole package together, mail it priority or express or overnight - the faster the better, just to be safe.

Once your application is accepted they will mail you a notice of action. The letter will also extend her status for one year. Then she should be OK

If you are confused about anything while you prepare the pacakge, ask!

Good luck!

Thank you

But does she needs passport pictures to be taken? To removed the condition and get the permanent greencard?

No she doesn't have to take pictures.

They take the pic, when she has the bio app.

Follow the guides on here ASAP. Her LPR status expires when the GC expires. The USCIS may not accept the petition if they process it after her conditional GC expires. You have 4 days for them to receive and process it and it typically takes 1-3 weeks. Better get prepared for a long drawn out process because you forgot to file the removal of condition (ROC) during the 90 days before her conditional GC expired and the USCIS will process it after the GC has expired. Now is the time to expect the worst and hope they just accept the petition and grant her a BIO appointment and a 10 year GC.

Get everything together and mail it off today via express mail and waive the signature requirement as that causes a delay--ours was mailed on the 25th and processed with check cashed on the 27th and NOA1 received on the 2nd of March last year. If the petition is refused due to the GC having expired, you will have to file the I-130 and I-485 and wait for those to be processed/

Good luck,

Dave

Oops sorry about that! No, she doesn't need passport photos!

I just mailed my N-400 which needed passport photos, and got the two processes mixed up in my head.

But anyway.. hurry and get your stuff together.

Make sure you mail the I-751 before the expiration date. If you cannot collect all the evidence just send what you can and if they need something more they will contact you with an RFE

You dont need passport photos. As soon as they approve your package they will schedule her for a biometrics appointment like they did before when she appplied for AOS. The important thing is mailing the package before the expiration date of her GC
