My temp. greencard is up for renewal in May 2007 (my 2 year anniversary) I know it is 6 months away but I know how slow INS is sometimes.

What do I do now? Do I initiate the renewal? or do they send me something? I know they need to proof that we are still together which is no problem, is there anything else they require.

I just wanted to get a jump start on things.

You don't renew the card now, you file to remove conditions, that should be filed within 90 days of expiration of the card, not 6 months, and file form I-751 This will get you the 10 year permanent resident card.

90 days before your temp greencard is due to expire you need to file to remove conditions...

90 days before it expires file the joint I-751 to lift the conditions on your marriage. good luck and i hope you get a fast approval!

Gee, Aussielad, I thought you gonna mention your "90 calendar days, not days, business days, or moon-phase based days" distinction, again!

Good luck, CanadianMag! -the above is an inside joke, dont pay attention :-) They are all correct, you have to file 90 days before your temp card expires. See other posts in this forum for more details.

For clarity, Dan's got it right---I-751 must be filed in the 90 days before the card expires.
It doesn't have to be filed exactly on day 90 (hey, people ask! )
