Hey guys! I finally got my green card in hand after years of stress since the moment I've filed my K-1. Finally most of my stress is alleviated, however, I keep racking my brain trying to figure our the best way to remember the date I need to file my ROC!! What are some ways you guys are doing it? I'm literally stumped, and I don't want to write Feb 16th, 2018 all over my walls... LOL

Just write the date on one 'sticky' and put on wall in your home office. Might want to put an extra bit of scotch tape on it also, so it doesn't come loose over a two year time period.

have you considered getting a tattoo?

maybe your driver's license also expires around the same time - this may trigger your memory?

maybe plan an international trip - this may trigger the line of thought that you will not be able to enter the country without valid documentation?

maybe plan to resign around the time when you 2-year greencard expires - this may trigger that you need valid documentation to see new employment?

if you hire a lawyer - they will send you a reminder - there may be additional cost.

USCIS does not always send a reminder letter or the conditional resident not always receive the reminder (as already mentioned by NLR). The deadline is two years from the day the conditional green card was issued, not marriage anniversary.

That is why I wrote "likely". Starting to prepare for the ROC process on the day of the deadline would be a bit late, wouldn't you think so as well?

Actually for us it was a very good reminder to use the second marriage anniversary to start the process. Particular BECAUSE the deadline was a few months later!

Your statement that USCIS will "likely" send a reminder suggests to OP that they can use the reminder notice to remember their ROC deadline so I emphasized that many times applicants don't get reminders and should not rely on them solely to remember ROC deadlines.

When did I suggest that OP should prepare for the ROC on the day of the deadline? Your post also suggested that the deadline is on the second marriage anniversary, which is untrue and often a major confusion for applicants.

The correct time to start the ROC process is as early as possible, at least a year before.

---removed--------------- "Likely" means what it is. Not surely, but "likely". It suggests nothing else!

Remember, the topic was about a reminder. You start with a reminder when you START the process, not at the end of the deadline, which you mentioned! If you wanna start a year ago, perfect! But that's just one opinion and no rule!
