Hi guys - can anyone advise? Permanent resident query

[LukeEdAllen 1]

Hi guys,

I moved over to the USA to marry my with here on the K1 Visa, we have gone through the initial stages and I have a 2 year green card which will expire early 2017. We got a letter that we didnt need to do the intitial interview for the green card, so that seemed simply enough.

What is the process now with my 2 year green card coming close to expiring? Will they contact me with instructions on how we go about renewing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

hi

you may receive a letter reminding you to remove conditions

if not, you can remove conditions, up to 90 days before your card expires

you will have to send the i751 form with bona fide evidence that your marriage is still real to get the 10 year GC

There's a Visa Journey guide for that under "Guides" on the menu http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

And there is a forum (separate from this AOS forum) called "Removing. Conditions on Residency General Discussion" with some pinned threads to read http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/86-removing-conditions-on-residency-general-discussion/

They might remind you but sometimes they don't.

Go on USCIS and look up I751 and read instructions and start getting evidences for bonafide marriage. When it comes to 90 days before expiry (not 3 months) file for removal of conditions.

If they have your current address on file, you should receive a reminder about 100 days or so before it expires. There's nothing that you can do until 90 days before it expires, except read up on what you need for removal of conditions.

Use this time for building up your relationship evidence to prove that your marriage is bona fide (shared finances proof, shared living space proof, photos of you together, etc).
