Confusion about when to file for removal of conditional status.

[CG DK 0]

On the back of the letter the Permanent Resident Card was attached to it says:

 

"If you are a conditional permanent resident, you should apply to remove the conditions at least 90 days before your card expires."

 

But on the USCIS filing date calculator website it says:

 

"If you are required to file within 90 days of your conditional status expiring, and USCIS receives your petition before this date, your petition may be rejected and returned to you for filing too early."

 

So which is it, do we send in the I-751 before the 90 days window starts or after the 90 days window starts?

During the 90-day window, if filing jointly.

Ah ok, the filing jointly thing was the part I was missing. Thank you.

Poor wording on the back of the card letter.  If filing jointly, do not send the I751 in before the 90 day window opens or it will be rejected.  The exception is if a person is filing an I751 with a divorce waiver, those can be submitted anytime.

 

Good Luck!
