Hi guys

Thanks to this incredible forum, we are being supported in every step of the USCIS journey.

I have a question

I got married on Nov 1 2014 and my conditional green card says Resident since 06/10/15 and card expires on 06/10/17.

So when exactly do I apply for ROC and when can I apply for the citizenship based on the 3 year rule?

Also can I freely travel outside of the US with just the conditional green card or do I need to carry the EAD and AP as well?

Thank you so much!

ROC - 90 days before the expiration date on your green card

Citizenship - 3 years minus 90 days from the expiration date on your green card

If you have a green card, no need to carry the AP/EAD any longer.

Wow thanks, but here is how my slow brain processed it. So apply for ROC anywhere between April 2017-June 2017. As for the citizenship I am brainfuddled, could I kindly request you to tell me what date should I apply on?Thank you so much!

You can apply for citizenship after 3 years of permanent residency while married to the original petitioner/sponsor. You can file the N-400 up to 90 days before you hit the actual 3 year date. You can read the N-400 form instructions for all the details.
