Green Card About to Expire?

 Share

4 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I brought my wife here on a K1 Fiancée Visa. We applied to remove the conditions on her 2 year green card and received an 18 month extension letter shortly after applying. Then awhile back we received another extension letter extending her green card 2 years from the expiration date. However, now her green card with the 2 year extension is set to expire 09/14/22. We haven't heard any thing from USCIS to date and when we check online it just says case updated to show fingerprints received. Is it normal for USCIS to wait this close to the expiration of the green card before sending the 10 year green card? Is there something we should do to follow up with USCIS at this point to make sure nothing is wrong? Thanks in advance for any advice.

The Removal of Conditions process is taking a huge amount of time, and no one knows when an interview or approval will come.  USCIS is not looking at the expiration date of the GC or an extension letter and saying it is time to process the ROC package.  You can call USCIS and request an InfoPass appointment (say "infopass" at the prompt on the phone) to get an I-551/ADIT stamp in her passport so she continues to have proof of her LPR status.  If she wants, she can also apply for naturalization using the N400 form as it appears she is qualified.

 

Good Luck!

My wife and I have been waiting for more than 3 years.  USCIS received our I-751 in March of 2019.  Still waiting for an interview.

If you are outside processing times, you can submit an inquiry. 

 

Other than that, follow @Dashinka's advice and see if your wife can get an infopass appointment for a stamp in her passport. The stamp will be good for 1 year and acts as a temporary green card.
