[samrmh 0]

Hi There,

Here is my situation, my wife's 2 year green card has been expired, few lawyers recommended to start all over again and file i-130 along with i-485, my question is can still use my wife's old i-130 receipt from 2 years ago or do i rally have to file a new one?? and when i fill out the i-485 part 1 what should i put down for the i-94 # and current USCIS states( since she has an expired green card) as will as part 2 ??

Thanks

How long has it been since her card expired? Was there a good reason why she failed to file the I-751 within the 90 day window prior to the GC's expiration? If so:

If You Are Late In Applying To Remove The Conditions On Residence

"If you fail to properly file Form I-751 within the 90-day period before your second anniversary as a conditional resident:

Your conditional resident status will automatically be terminated and we will begin removal proceedings against you

You will receive a notice from us telling you that you have failed to remove the conditions

You will receive a Notice to Appear at a hearing. At the hearing you may review and rebut the evidence against you. You are responsible for proving that you complied with the requirements (we are not responsible for proving that you did not comply with the requirements)

The Form I-751 can be filed after the 90-day period if you can prove in writing to the director of the appropriate Service Center that there was good cause for failing to file the petition on time. The director has the discretion to approve the petition and restore your permanent resident status."
