I-751 - Part 1, Question 14 - Conditional Residence Expires on? [See details]

[Kitta&Owen 22]

I am about to submit my I-751 but I have a query about this question: Form I-751 - Part 1, Question 14 - Conditional Residence Expires on (mm/dd/yyyy) - What date should I put? View the details of my case/situation below...

 

Here's some background on my situation for context:

1. I arrived in the USA on my CR-1 December 19th 2020

2. The CR-1 expired May 25th 2021 (is this normal? as I hadn't been in the USA for even 1 year at this point)

3. My physical green card was not delivered and resulted in "Card Destroyed" status. I then filed an I-90 for replacement card (which is still in progress).

4. I got a temporary I-551 stamp from USCIS in Nov 2021 which expired Oct 2022 (this month)

5. I got a second temporary I-551 stamp this month which is valid for 1 year (until Oct 2023)

 

Your help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Owen

The day you enter the USA on the CR-1 visa is the start date of your legal permanent residency. Your conditional green card expires 2 years after the start of your LPR. So as @Crazy Cat indicated Dec 19th 2022 will be the expiration date of the condiditonal green card.  You can file anytime between now and Dec 19th as the joint i751 filing window is currently open.

If your new conditional green card does not show up in time, I recommend you include a copy of your i-90 receipt notice for your replacement green card, a copy of the stamp with the entry date in your passport of when you enter on the CR-1, and include an explanation in your i751 cover letter explaining your green card was lost in the mail and that your LPR started on December 19th 2020 and your CGC will expire on December 19th, 2022.You need to file your joint i751 within 90 days of December 19th 2022 with your i751 application.

 

You can go to the USCIS webpage link below to download the latest i751 to use, determine the fee needed, find the correct address to mail the i751 form to based on your home address, and complete instructions on how to fill out the i751application. Be sure to collect the bona fide marriage evidence needed to be included with the i751 application.
