Form for adjustment of status

[MRS1 4]

My wife received her two-year visa with Green Card in December 2015 and we now need to remove conditions for the permanent ten-year visa. Which form do we complete? form I-751 or form I-485? It's a bit confusing. I'm a U.S. citizen.

 

Also, can the form in question be submitted before the three-month period prior to expiration (December 2017)? Thanks!

It's the I-751 for ROC.

No, the form must be submitted within the 90 day period prior to the 2 year anniversary of becoming an LPR.

hi

 

exactly, she isn't adjusting status, she is removing conditions to get the 10 year GC

 

so the i751 is the form she needs

You need the I-751 form (removal of condition), she has already adjusted her status but now need to remove condition on her status.

You should wait till September 2017 before applying as that will give you the required 90 days before  her 2 year on the GC.

Just a note that it must be submitted within 90 days prior to expiration, not 3 months. I know that sounds like splitting hairs, but USCIS will not accept an application filed so much as a single day prior to your window opening, so calculating exactly 90 days is important.

 

To ensure you calculate the correct earliest filing date, they have a handy calculator that you can use. Just enter the expiry date listed on her Green Card and it will give you the first date you can file.
