Would I need to go through the whole thing again if me and my american husband would want to move back to the US after my greencard has expired? I still "only" have the greencard with a conditional status that will expire in december, and we will not be able to move back stateside before it`s expired, will we need to do the dance all over again, or is there something we can do to keep it "alive"?

I am Norwegian which allows direct consular filing, so it`s quite a lot easier that way, but still it would be nice if I could hold on to the one I currently have in my possesion.

Thanks guys! :thumbs:

How long have you been outside the US, where is your principle residence, what is your reason for being outside the US (something to do with your husband's work?) and why can't you move back to the US before X when you card expires?

There is a provision to file I-751 from outside the US; you can use the link in my signature to jump to the Removing Conditions section of uscis.gov
