I've been pretty much hands off through the whole process of our CR-1 because we had an immigration lawyer. However, with the wealth of information available on this website I feel that I can do the rest on my own.

What's the next step after POE? I know there is the removal of conditions during 90 days before the 2 years, but other than that I have no information. Is there a separate forum for ppl after POE? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Next thing you want to do is apply for your Social Security Card.

Wait for your green card in the mail.

The AOS stuff as you pointed out starts 90 days before the 2 years are up. Its important you start it not to early and not to late.

The VJ Guides are always a good place to start. Here's the link to removal of conditions: http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

You apply for removal of conditions within 90 days before your conditional green card expires. Just check back once in a while to see if any of the rules have changed...it will, after all, be a while before you do this.

There is a forum called: Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion

Just scroll down till you see it, and hop in. :)

It's a good idea to review the requirements for ROC early on. It is much easier to gather your evidence as you as you can along rather than wait until the last minute. Those two years will go quickly.smile.gif
