After two years conditional status

[murasame 6]

Hello All,

First of all thanks for all your help during the past years as we have gone through the visa process with only visa journey's help. You are all a great team.

I will need your help once again as i am confused on what form to use to lift the two year "conditional" permanent residence. My wife came in with a k-1 (i-129f). The guide doesnt have a link or specify how to do this last part (or atleast i didnt see it)

There's a post which details the 4 required step but doesnt give a link either:

"4. Lifting the Conditions of Residence Stage (required)

- "Permanent Resident" and USC file jointly to remove the conditions of residence within 90 days of the two year anniversary date on the Green Card. Condition of residence is removed. "Permanent Resident" receives a new Green Card [RENEWABLE ten year expiration]. Status remains "Permanent Resident."

I searched the forms on uscis.gov website and the one that relates the most to it is i-751. Is that the form we need to file?

We are in a desperate situation here as her residence expired 8/17/14 and today is 8/18/14. I am aware that the penalty of not filing within the 90 days before residence expiring is deportation.

Please help.

Yes she needs to file the I-751.

She should file ASAP and include an explanation of why she did not file within the 90 days prior to her status expiring.

Thanks all. I already have it filled and with all back ups. I will be sending it first thing tomorrow morning.

Although, i have no idea how to address the lateness. The exact reason is because time just went too fast and we noticed it a day before it expired!

See page 1 of the I-751 instructions

http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-751instr.pdf

"If your failure to file was through no fault of your own, you may file your petition late with a written explanation and request that USCIS excuse the late filing. Failure to file before the expiration date may be excused if you demonstrate when you submit the petition that the delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control and that the length of delay was reasonable".

If you don't submit a letter of explanation you will be denied for being late. You will need to include some kind of explanation. I have recently seen people here submit their I-751 petitions late with a letter of explanation, and their petitions were accepted.
