Need Help Please! 14 year old that just received her 2 year conditional green card

[Demise 1,419]

Had to go digging fairly heavily to find this because the form instructions do point that a CLPR who turned 14 is not required to file, but I wasn't sure why exactly (instructions and policy manual also suck for very specific edge cases), so here you go: 

 

https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-8/chapter-I/subchapter-B/part-264/section-264.5

 

(b)  Permanent residents required to file. A permanent resident shall apply for a replacement Permanent Resident Card:

(8) When the bearer of the card reaches the age of 14 years, unless the existing card will expire prior to the bearer's 16th birthday; 

 

Since she's got it when she was still 13, and it's valid for 2 years, it will expire shortly before her 16th birthday, so she's not required to file because the card will expire before her sweet 16. So unless the card gets lost or destroyed, the next form to file will be I-751 when that's due.

it sounds like you don't need to do this since she has a conditional green card

everything says it's only for LPRs who received their 10 year green card before turning 14

 

*the officer was right, there is nothing you have to do until you remove conditions in 2 years. 

Thank you so very much
