Advice on 2 year card renewal....

[JaneG 0]

Need some advice please. My 2 year conditional card expires Jan 27 2008 - so I need to know when to put in my application and what forms are needed. I visited the USCIS website but, as usual, it is as clear as mud We live in Austin, Tx and our nearest office is San Antonio which is where I had to visit for my original Green Card.

It's been a while since I have visited Visa Journey but this site successfully guided us through the whole K1 process and I know there is a lot of knowledge and experience out there.

I'm originally from Dorset in the UK, have been living in Austin, Texas and (ridiculously) happily married to my Texan for 2 years and 4 months now (was previously JaneC username). I have a great job and could not be happier with the lifestyle we have. If anyone has questions about other stuff leading up to now, happy to answer/advise. I know there are many successful Visa Journey couples out there, would love to hear from you also!

Thanks in advance for any help & advice and it brings back lots of memories logging on here again!

Here's a start!

You can/should apply to remove conditions and get a 10 year GC within 90 days of your current GCs expiration date.

Read the instructions on form I-751. They pretty much cover what you will need to prove a bonafide marriage.

Form I-751 is the form you need. You will be sending it to Texas, who will promptly transfer you (based on recent VJ'ers experience) to California. Do not fret! This is a good thing for you, as CSC is trotting along very well at the moment. From what I have seen so far, most RFE's during this part of the process are due to either insufficient evidence in general, or insufficient evidence of co-mingling of assets/liabilities. There are many threads in this section discussing lists of evidence, I suggest you take a look at them for ideas. Best wishes to you for a smooth process.

Thank you - I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I'll get researching & gathering (again!). Thanks again.

Thanks Cassie. Very helpful and thanks for the best wishes.

Do as the others say and enjoy your time at the photocopier again! Best of luck and here's hoping you get transfered to CSC.
