EAD and Conditional Greencard

[jomfer 2]

Hello,

I have a conditional greencard for 2 years. Do I still have to renew my EAD/work permit?

If my conditional greencard is expiring on 4/10/2016, when should I file form I-751? Do I file it exactly before 3 months or I can file it like 5 months before the card expires?

Before my first interview, I had done my fingerprint thing or biometric. Will I have to go for it again before the second interview? I am just confused because fee for form I-751 includes the biometrics as well that's why.

Just curious.

No EAD is required if you have your green card. Your green card is your authorization to work.

You can file 90 days prior to the expiration date and not one day sooner. If they receive the I-751 more than 90 days prior to the expiration it will be returned to you.

I think so. Each time you renew your right to be in the US you have to be fingerprinted.

Cool. I will file 90 days prior to the expiration date of my conditional card. Within that 90 days period, how long does it take to get fingerprinted again and receive the new permanent card? I am sure I will get the permanent card before the conditional gets expired. Do they waive the second interview most of the times or most of the time people have to attend it? Just curious. lol

Thanks!

During Removal Of Conditions (ROC) you have to supply further proof that your marriage is bonafide (much more so than during AOS) to demonstrate that your lives (mostly financially) have been intermingled throughout the ~2 year period, when you file for ROC you will get a NOA that serves to extend your green card for a year while it is processed if it happens to take longer than the 90 days. Dependent upon the evidence of a bona fide marriage that you provide you may or may not be called for an interview, it isn't just a formality.

I got you. Thank you so much for the information. I am just crossing my fingers and wait for the time to pass quick so that I can get over all these hassle soon.
