Hey everyone. My husbands removal of conditions will be applied for in September, 90 days prior to expiration. I know that most people get a letter thereafter saying your green card has been extended for 1 year while they review the case. How long do you think it takes to get that letter after you submit the application to remove conditions. I am wondering as we want to go back to Jamaica for about 3 weeks at the end of December for Christmas and New Years. Worried that his green card extended 1 year paper won't come in time. Do you think 3 months is enough time for this paper to be sent to us? I really don't want to pay for Advanced Parole just because the conditions are being removed.

Any ideas?

Based on our experience the NOA1, which is the extension letter, came well before my wife's 2-year greencard expired. It arrived less than two weeks after we sent her I-751 package to remove conditions.

I think it might take a little longer now, but in the majority of the cases still under one month.

She had no problems traveling to China and back to the USA with the extension letter.
