I-751 Renewal: Interview or no Interview?

[davidrome 0]

Ciao VJ Crowd,

I am getting ready to fill the I-751 Form after my 2 Happy years of permanent residency in the US and

I am somewhat confused about some parts of the process, here are my questions:

1) Is the interview mandatory or not?

(I already had a very successful and good interview 2 years ago)

2) Is the evidence that I need to provide the same that I sent two years ago for my adjustment of status or is a lighter package this time?

3) Is it real that it might take up to 4 months to get this new Green card ( the 10 years one)??

If so, what happens during that period when the first green card expires and I am waiting for the new green card, am I gonna be able to still work , travel, enjoy life etc. or...???

Thank you all for your help

Ciao!

David

1. The interview is a 50/50 chance you may have one you may not. It is manditory that you show up to it if you have one.

2. If you have not been collecting evidence the last two years you may be in trouble. They are looking to see evidence from the past 2 years of your marriage.

3. They send you an extension letter of your green card that is valid for 1 year.

Some people get interviews, some do not. They may randomly pick your application for an interview, same as with AOS, or they can schedule you for an interview if they think the evidence you submitted isn't enough.

2) Is the evidence that I need to provide the same that I sent two years ago for my adjustment of status or is a lighter package this time?

No, the evidence is not the same. Check the VJ guides, the instructions sheet for the I-751 form, and the forum for types of relationship evidence to send (things like a deed or lease, joint bank account statements, joint insurance, joint assets or debts, birth certificates or adoption decrees for any kids you have together, travel documents from trips you've taken, photos, etc....). You only need to send the form, a copy of the front and back of your 2-year GC, and relationship evidence.

3) Is it real that it might take up to 4 months to get this new Green card ( the 10 years one)??

If so, what happens during that period when the first green card expires and I am waiting for the new green card, am I gonna be able to still work , travel, enjoy life etc. or...???

Your NOA1 includes a statement saying that it extends the validity of your GC by one year. I'm not sure what the average processing time is. The shortest I've seen on here is 6 weeks.
