Conditonal Greencard Expired

[gregoryagu 30]

Not realizing that her greencard was conditional and would expire in two years, my wife's Greencard expired 3/24/2020.

 

I am just now realizing I need to now resolve this.

 

From what I have read, I need to include an explanation with "good cause" to explain the delay.

 

Are there any suggestions on this?

You file the I-751.  You include a cover letter saying you were unaware, you forgot, you made a mistake, etc.  That's about it.  You're not the first to screw this up and no one has ever reported that they were refused a 10 years green card based on this error.

She needs to file asap with an explanation.  She needs that extension letter....

Good Luck.

 

"What constitutes good cause and extenuating circumstances may be broadly considered by the USCIS. Some examples include but are not limited to: hospitalization, long term illness, death of a family member, the recent birth of a child (particularly ifthere were complications), and a family member on active duty with the U.S. military."

Thank you so much.  This is reassuring. I worked so hard to get this far.

As noted in another thread, I filed the I-751, waited 4 weeks, and received the Letter of Extension.  So all is good.
