Conditional Resident Status

[KP&RP 4]

Hello Everyone!

So I tried to inquire my wife's case status both over the phone and online and they are giving me an error saying that the case or receipt number that I entered is not available at this time. I tried to get hold of a representative from the US Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) over the phone and they wont direct me to anyone.

The reason why I wanted to inquire about the case is that my wife's permanent resident card is expiring this month and I was just wondering if extending her Conditional Resident Status is the same as renewing her card. If not, what is the process of renewing her card? This year is her second anniversary here in the US.

Thank you!

If she has a two year conditional permanent resident card then she must file an I-751, application to remove conditions on residence, up to 90 days before her conditional green card will expire. If she fails to do so then she will go out of status and ICE may seek her removal from the US.

She doesn't need to renew her card (form I-90), she needs to file for removal of conditions (form I-751) before her conditional card expires. See the I-751 instructions here: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-751instr.pdf

We already filed for I-751 and we received the receipt notice of action. I just can't inquire her receipt because of the said error that I am getting.

Another question: how long will it take for her to receive the biometrics letter/appointment?

You won't be able to look up her file with that receipt. I believe if you re-read the receipt it actually tells you on it that you will be able to check case status after you receive the biometrics appointment letter.

When you receive the biometrics appointment letter there will be another number on it (similar to the one you already have) and THAT one will allow you to check case status.

I hope this helps!
