Yes, the next step would be Removal of Conditions and then Naturalization. You can't skip ROC.

I'm a bit confused, her green card is good for 2 years so apply I-751 about 90 days prior to expiration?.

That is correct. I am going to file I-751 for my wife at the end of this month since her GC will be expired on 3/25/2017.

Great, I will be in touch because I see from the instructions there is a lot of supporting documentation involved also including Birth Certificate of our new daughter Mai Linh !

Thanks!

There's a guide for removing conditions and there's also a forum dealing specifically with Removing Conditions. 

 

Why don't you spend some time in those two places first so you can grasp it's not just the form and fee that's sent.

First at all, you need to make sure that you have the newest version of I-751 form and new fee ($680).

 

Second, I will list all the documents that I sent along of I-751 form and fee below:

******Note that all the documents below were obtained after marriage to now.******

******Note that all the documents below were  copy documents ( NOT ORIGINAL).

--- Original I-751 form and a check of $680.

--- 2 Passport photos (It might not require this but I have an extra  photo at home so I sent).

--- Copy of her Green Card front and back.

--- Copy of both her and my driver license to show that we live at the same address.

--- Tax transcripts that show married jointly  filling status from 2014-2015-2016 (after married until now).

--- Leases/mortgage for all years.

--- Banks statements ( I sent all the statements that I have that show joint account, some people sent 1 statement every 3 months or so).

--- Credit cards statements ( same as my bank, however, I also copied the cards itself to show my name and her name on the card)

******Note: Banks and credit cards statements need to show all pages so that they can see all the transactions.******

--- Health insurance card to show the joint insurance and bill statements that show both names.

--- Car titles that have two names on, cars's insurance cards 

--- Electric bills/ phone bills/ that have both names on.

--- Air tickets that show we went on vacation together.

--- Letter/cards that have two names on.

--- Couple Photos,

@Anonymous885 Don't you need to submit 2 affidavits from 2 people who know both of you since your conditional GC was granted and your marriage & relationship with the I-751 application?

 The only reason to including the letters is when you dont have good evidences. I did not include it because I did not think it is strong evidence. It wont hurt if you include it.
