I don't know if I'm positing this on the right section, but since I entered the US with a K1 visa I think so. In the meantime, I did get my green card of course but it expires in November 2014 (the first time they told me they issue it only for 2 years).

When do I have to start the renewal process? Which form is it necessary?

How long does this process take?

How many years will the new green card last?

I know it's only May...but I want to have a better idea of the time frame...it should be three months to expiration date correct?

Here we go again...with paperwork one more time! :dancing:

Thanks

Mauro

Hi Mauro,

You will have to apply for removal of conditions (see link below). This will give you a better idea of what you will need to start collecting to prepare your paperwork.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/310-general-faqs-for-removing-conditions/

You will apply 90 days before your conditional green card is set to expire. Do not file earlier than that as they may send your application back.

I belive that the permanent residency gc is good for 10 years. Not sure how long processing time will take. Guess it depends on how busy USCIS is.

Good luck
