The front and back is very necessary 

I mean how do people take both front and back copies on the same page? I know it's important 

 

or is it OK to take one side on  one page, another side on another page?

We did 2 separate pages, paper-clipped together and labeled with a sticky note.

Others may just photocopy one side, then photocopy the other side using the same sheet of paper.

Others may just scan each side as an image and put them both on one page in a page editor/image composer/whatever program.

How it's done doesn't really matter IMO.

Word of advice - don't aim to file on the exact 90th day before expiration. USCIS makes counting mistakes too. Don't leave anything to guess. You're in for likely a year(s) long wait...a couple days isn't worth the stress, weeks of delays, etc. of getting the package returned because either you or they miscounted the days by 1 or 2.

Very good! Trying get through this COVID thing. My wife had plans to visit her mom in Buenos Aires this spring, but everything was shut down and flights cancelled. It was a bummer deal. 
But here we all are at ROC! I was wondering if anyone from our original group would be on here...we sent our I-751 about a month later than planned, so I’m glad to recognize someone on here.  :)

So glad you guys are doing well! I'm sorry your wife didn't get to go to Buenos Aires.....this COVID thing is horrible....I keep trying to tell myself "it'll get better...." It'll work out...we just have to hold on a bit 🙂

But....you can not imagine how glad I am to see you here! Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Thank you so much. I appreciate your reply.

BTW....I would ABSOLUTELY listen to @geowrian I would not send it in on the day you are eligible to apply.....I would wait a few days (and did)

My husband's green card expires on November 2, 2020....He was eligible to apply for RoC on August 4....but we waited and mailed the packet on August 7th.

I wonder how we will handle this while working in USA? If the greencard expires, that means you are unlawfully working and living in USA until you get it renewed. But you can't renew it as a family based conditional permanent resident without applying for the 751 which takes over a year to approve, yet you can't apply for the 751 until 90 days before your green card expires. So we will be ineligible to work for 9 months and be unlawfully living here?? This has me concerned..
