Hi, guys. My mum was approved IR5-visa with I-551evidencing permanent resident for 1 year. Do you know when I will need to renew her visa? 90 days before expiry date?

And the form to apply is I-90? After that, how long will her new green card be valid for? (like 10 years?) Any condition beside not going overseas outside the US for more than 6 months?

 

Thank you so much!!!

Has she entered the USA?

Assuming she paid the green card fee, she should get a 10 year green card within one year if her entering the USA.

Obe can file to review a 10 year green card no more than 6 months before it expires.

10 years

180 days actually.

 

In addition she needs to spend more time in the USA  than outside.  The moment she arrives in USA, if she wants to take a trip outside the USA for X days, she should not do so until being in the USA for at least X+1 days.  And after her return from trip of X days, her next trip of Y days should not be another X+1 or Y+1 days, which ever is greater. 
 

It she plans to naturalize, it is critical that:

 

* she file her income taxes with the IRS, on time, each year even if she doesn’t have taxable income 

 

* she retains the last 5 years of IRS tax return transcripts 

 

* if she is divorced, she keeps records of required support for her spouse 

 

* if she has any minor children born during a marriage thst dissolved, she keeps records of child support payments if she doesn’t have full custody 

 

* if she has any minor children born out of wedlock who don’t live with her she keeps records of child support payments 

 

* keeps records of offenses other than parking violations or if they exceed $500 in fines 

 

* keeps records of her physical presence in the USA for the past 5 years

Just to make sure. She entered with her visa and got the I-551 stamp right? All that needs to be done is to pay the greencard fee and her 10 year greencard will be sent to her within a couple weeks/ months. You do not renew her visa or file the I-90 if her greencard hasn't come in by the 1 year mark. If she doesn't have her card by that time she'll have to follow up with USCIS where her card is and she could get another stamp as proof of status but hopefully it doesn't come to that and she'll get her card soon.

Hello, everyone! I am so grateful for each of you to spend time on meticulously reply to my mom and I whole-heartedly. This community is so amazing and helpful!! It really warms my❤️

 

My mom entered the US successfully. The USCIS didn't even open her brown sealed envelope and told her that they will send her paperwork to our address :). Hopefully, her green card and social security card will come home soon so that she can open a bank account and work next month. 

 

The guidlines you guys sent us was so helpful!!

 

I wish you guys all blessings, joy and luck in life! You all are such kind people!!
