I-751 & green card question

[swapnil.soni 2]

Hi everyone,

my spouse has arrived the US since last one month. Besides SSN, we have not received the Green card in the mail. Does it take longer than this?

Also, when do we need to file I751, is it 90 days from when she has landed or 90 days before the expiry of the conditional residency?

Thanks,
Soni.

What Kind Of VIsa Did she come with?

If your spouse had CR-1 visa and entered USA, did you pay the immigrant fee (either before she entered US or after she entered US)? If the immigrant fee is not paid, green card won't be produced and mailed to your US residence address. If she don't receive a green card for more than one month, you/she should contact USCIS or set up the infoPASS appointment and meet USCIS officer at your local USCIS office. Officer might say that your spouse may have to fill out the I-90 form (fee is $0). http://www.uscis.gov/i-90

The Green Card usually shows up about 4-5 weeks after an immigrant's arrival in the U.S. (if the $165 online Green Card fee is paid soon after visa is issued).

A conditional permanent resident receives a green card valid for 2 years. In order to remain a permanent resident, a conditional permanent resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed. The conditions must be removed or you will lose your permanent resident status. http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/conditional-permanent-residence.
