As the title says, we stupidly filed I-90 thinking we were "renewing" my husbands green card, instead of I-751 to remove conditions. This whole time we thought we were just waiting for his new green card in the mail. As of a few days ago we were made aware of our mistake and are in the process of filing the correct form with an apology letter explaining our mistake. We also realized that they tried to send us the denial back in August of last year, but the letter was never delivered. The problem is that his green card is now approximately 15 months expired. We are having a lot of anxiety about whether or not our 751 will be approved when it's this late. Does anyone have any success stories that they can share with us about a similar situation? Or your honest thoughts on what you think will happen? We are seriously considering retaining an attorney just to advise us before we file. Obviously the main concern is getting approved at all, but we are also a little bit concerned about traveling. We have a family trip that we were very much looking forward to coming up in October. It would require flying, but only domestically. Do you think this will be in any way possible once we file the I-751? Will hDear Sir.txte still be granted some type of temporary status while they process the application?
