So my AoS from B2 to GC has been one of my main focus points this entire year; And now it's over!!!!

So... here's my next question; My application was Jan 20, my approval was September 21. My G/C says I've been a resident since Jan 20.... so when can I apply for removal of conditions? 2 years from.... Jan 20 or Sept 21?

Same question applies for citizenship.... 3 years from Jan 20, or Sept 21?

First and foremost it's from the "resident since" date on the card. It has to be the day you were approved for residency not your filing or priority date. That date is faulty and you should spare yourself some big drama ahead and file an I-90 for a replacement which will be free of course as it's USCIS' mistake. The only hassle is it's going to take several months for a replacement, but it's better now than having your ROC denied. You should schedule an infopass and request a stamp in your passport to show LPR status for travel or otherwise, and also keep a copy of the card just in case. Edited by Starkilla09
