I got a permanent resident card of 2 years in may 2005, for a validation of 2 years.
I was wondering if any of you know when I have to apply to renew my card, and which papers I do need and how long it takes.
Thank you

You can apply 3 months before your permanent resident card expires.

Here's the guide: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=751guide

You will be lifting conditions and need to start the paper work within 90 days before your card expires. You file form I-751

Thank you for your answers .

you'll have to file 90 days before may of next year, so that will be like February...remember its 90 days, not 90 calender days, good night and good luck!

I've seen you distinguish between days and calendar days on other posts. Would you please explain the difference.

Now I am confused.... what is the diffrence between 90 days and 90 callender days..... I would have thought 90 days is 90 days.....

Now if you had said 90 callender days and not 3 months I could understand....

Looking forward to your explanation....

Whether I count them on the calendar or on my fingers, it keeps coming out the same amount of time.

Calendar days are a measurement of travel time (and also taxability--IRS uses this to say whether one can be taxed as resident or nonresident)--any part of a 24-hour day that is spent in a locale counts as 1 day (example: if I arrive in Calgary at 23:59 on a Friday and then leave at 0:01 the following monday, it counts as FOUR calendar days).

How does this make any difference at all regarding how soon you can submit this application??????

Just dont use your toes because thats when it start to get complicated because how do you hold up 10 fingers and then touch each toe without loosing count.... Oh I could use my husband to touch the toes.... there we go all sorted...

How did the discussion of calendar days (which was never in the glister of I-751 and N-400) even get in?????????

Dont know....... welcome to the confused club... have a seat...

Aussielad is the one that has made this distinction. In another post as well, but it makes no sense in regards to the I-751 topic.
90 days means 90 DAYS, or 3 months, or 2160 hours, or 129600 minutes, or 7776000 seconds. Which doesn't even matter when you file your application via mail, since you can't be THAT accurate with the postal service. It's not like you have to file at a certain hour. You have the whole 90 days to submit.
I hope this is clear!
Happy Haloween!



Maybe Aussielad is confused between calendar days and business days. Now, THAT would make sense! But still, it has nothing to do with our topic.

Actually, 90 days does not always equal 3 months.

Always use a date calendar---google to your favorite one!

Meauxna,

You are right, 90 days doesnt always mean 3 months. I put 3 mo for the sake of the argument.
Anyway, the only reason this is specified in the application is so people don't file TOO early. It doesnt really matter if it gets there 90 days before your card expires or 88 days, or 45 or 12 or even a week. As long as they process it before your card expires (even then, i think it's ok), it should be alright. INS didnt want people to start filing too early, like a year before, because the whole principle of being married for 2 years would be compromised.

Hope this helped.

But is that 90 calendar days or 88 calendar days or 45 or 12 calendar days????

They might be business days, I don't know. Ask Aussielad.
