Hello could somebody please help me learn what we're supposed to do next?

 

  • My wife is from Holland and she came on a K-1 fiancee visa.
  • We got married in Dec 2015.
  • Her I-765 EAD application was approved and she received her Blue Card in the mail in June 2016.
  • Her I-485 AOS application was approved and, after an interview, she received her Green Card in the mail in Oct 2016.
  • Since then she's gotten a SSN, NJ Driver's License, credit cards, a bank account; we've co-mingled finances; she pays some of our bills herself.

 

Questions:

  • Her Blue Card expires in approximately 2 months from now.  Does this need to be renewed, or does the Green Card supersede it?  If it needs to be renewed, what USCIS form do we need to file?
  • Her Green Card expires in Oct 2018.  I definitely don't want this to expire.  I believe our next step is to remove conditions or something, but I'm kinda fuzzy on the details.  What form(s) should we file, and when?

 

Thank you very much

I am the U.S. citizen petitioner (male). My wife is the foreign beneficiary (female)

There are no more steps for AOS....that was approved and she got her green card. Next is ROC, which needs to be filed within 90 days of her green card expiring.

The EAD was superseded by the green card.

Ok, firstly, thanks for the info.  And secondly... I can't file early?  I have to wait to mail the ROC application until her Green Card is 90 days away from expiring?

Nope. You must file within 90 days of it expiring. If you send it sooner it will be rejected and you'll have to resend it later..

Ok good to know.  I'll prepare it well ahead of time, and set some calendar reminders when 90 days is approaching so we don't forget.  Thanks again.
