Good luck!   We will be doing that in about 9 months.  I have already begun to gather evidence.  We are in the process of buying a home, which will help with good documents........

The title deed, even if not a joint mortgage is a big green flag! And yes, spouse can be joint owner of the property even if the mortgage is not joint. Good luck house hunting (if not already found something).

I'll tell you, closing and being handed those keys feels as good as, if not better than,  opening the USPS and seeing the conditional greencard.

 

The only other experiences in the same category are walking out of the local USCIS office with the NatCert, and gazing at the US passport a couple weeks later.

Hey Everyone, 

 

Been two years and we're back and working on our removal of conditions for the hubby.  Earliest date we can send it in is the 18th of June.  So looks like I'll be paling around with you guys.  We can all suffer together as we wait lol

Hi to everyone.. 

Seems like we are still pretty "new" and small group.

We just mailed all of our paperwork with the application. Waiting to even get our NOA.......

Good luck filing.. I'm an October 2016 filer and still waiting.

[vpalermo85 62]

Yeah but small isn't bad, we'll just have to amuse ourselves until then.

 

My husband just received the 120 day notice yesterday.  They sent it to the original address on file even after we filed his change of address form when we moved.  But it was redirected to our new place.

 

The most annoying thing about this part is just getting the evidence together for proof of the relationship lol.

 

Not hard to do but the tricky part and the tedious part is organizing it.  Takes forever haha

Mailed June 1st - Received in California on June 5th.  Now the waiting begins.

 

Wife and I planned a trip to the Philippines for her to visit family at Christmas - already paid for some of the air fare.  Really just want the NOA1 to extend her green card.  The rest I am happy to wait out.

 

Good luck to all!

Congrats!  You'll be fine and in a week or so I'll be right behind you filing.

 

Everything will work out just fine--just steel yourself up to the idea that you'll be waiting at least a year before this comes to any sort of conclusion lol.

Hi friends, 

I originally submitted mine in May, but got returned to me due to wrong (expired) form

So I resent it again 6/1, delivered 6/4 to VSC.

We sent ours this past Saturday, June 2. USPS says delivered Jun 4. Now wait for the NOA. And then wait and wait. I hear that filing N-400 at the 2yr, 9mo+ date can expedite the I-751. We are planning to try that also. Saw a post in a forum that someone got an approval on I-751 in 6 months post conditional green card expiration. So this is some hope for a faster time. But likewise the many post of long wait times are out there too. Perseverence is the name of the game.

I’m an attorney and work on many immigration cases.  Last week I set up a call with a tier two officer to ask about a client’s green card.  We got lucky and the call back was made from someone in the National service department - not east or west,can’t remember the name (they’re able to clear. a lot of red tape when you want to put in a service request since all requests go to them in the end).  

 

We got to talking about the process of removal of conditions and my husband as we passed the time waiting for him to do something and we talked about a few things.

 

Right now he confirmed Vermont is faster than California with I-751.  

 

We also talked about filing your naturalization papers while you have a pending I-751.  He confirmed that your naturalization paperwork won’t be approved until the I-751 is completed.  He also said that it takes longer to process both applications when they’re both pending because you’ll have two different offices fighting for your hard file which then causes the file to be shipped between one office and another,

 

Mind you this is one viewpoint but he did raise an interesting point.

 

In the end I think it’s luck and who is ultimately reviewing your file.  

 

I am curious to to see whether or not they interview us this time around, his green card was approved without one.
