Hello,

 

We are at the final steps of the process and need some help with what is next. 

We got married in 10/2022 and received the green card on 03/2023 without having an interview with USCIS.  We had to  send a proof of our life together after the marriage which was only 3-4 months

The green card is for two years. 

What is next?  What form needs to be sent for a normal green card?

 

Thanks

You will need to file for Removal of Conditions. The window for filing opens 90 days prior to the expiry of your 2 yr conditional Green Card.  Start by reading up on the process and then set about keeping and gathering the documentation needed over the next two years that support your filing

It's never too early to think about the dark hole of the I-751 (I'm not a fan of it).....that is your next step. Fortunately, it will get easier after that. ...much easier.

Agree 100%.  Collecting and organizing documentation along the way is much easier than wholesale gathering documents just before filing the I-751.
