RoC

[W loves S 4]

I am pretty new to this forum. I need a little help and suggestions on my ROC Process. 

 Specially I wanted to know how do I know when to file  ROC application.

Look at the expiry date on your conditional green card.

 

You are eligible to file I-751 90 days before that date. (Exactly 90 days, not 3 months, not 91 days, you get the picture. They're very picky about that, and will send your whole package back to you if you file early.)

 

You must file before your conditional green card expires. (So you basically have an 89 day window within which to file. From 90 days before your green card expires to the day before it actually expires). 

 

I think you'd want to be near the beginning of that window, just in case you've forgotten to sign something, or didn't put the check in the envelope, etc, and they send it back... that way you can resubmit and still be within the timeline.

Thank you so much 😊, my conditional green card will expire in Aug 2018 , so I can file my I-175 in May 2018 . I was looking into this forum  someone commented some link from USCIS  to check how early or rather I say when you can file your I-175.

 

is there any link as such ? If so please share with me. 

 

I thank you so much again.

Yes. The time calculator just tells you the date that is 90 days before any given date. Since  both I-751 (remember it's 751 not 175) and N-400 have an early filing window that starts 90 days before the anniversary date of your residency, the calculator will work for both.

 

Ok. So you can file in May of next year. Now you have lots of time to (read the pinned topics at the top of the Removing Conditions on Residency discussion forum), and start putting your package together. If you have other specific questions or require clarification as you move through these topics, feel free to ask, but try to read the posts that others have written so that you're not asking broad, vague questions that you could easily find the answers to if you just read the guides.

 

Also, I see that yours is started, but if you click on the "timeline" hyperlink in the left column underneath your own name, and then click "edit" and enter the dates for your previous processes, (and keep it updated once you actually file your I-751) anyone who is answering your questions can easily see what stage of the process you're at, and can direct their answers more specifically!
