[temptress 0]

Hello to all, thanks for all your comments! One question though, now that the process is done and our AOS interview was a success.........can someone tell me what is next? Is there anymore paperwork in the future?

THANKS AGAIN.......TEMPTRESS

you have to file for removal of conditions 3 months before the green card expires, but otherwise that's it.. unless they mess up the green card in some way.. or it doesn't get there.. Oh and you probably still have to change the SS# so it reflects your status.. but otherwise the hard part is done :-) congratulations..

THANKS.....What does REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS MEAN?

[de_sjiem 0]

You got a 2 year green card right? (or you probably will get anyways..) so 3 months before the 2 years is up you have to file form I-751 to remove the conditions on your 2 year conditional green card... I'm pretty sure we get conditional cards because we adjust status based on marriage, and they just want to make sure the marriage lasts at least 2 years.. :-) anyways.. taht's all it is..

How does it cost to remove the conditions? And is there another intervire?

currently i think its about $205 to apply... I dont know if there is another interview.. there is a whole other forum on VJ about the lifting of conditions...

Next task is to do nothing for eighteen months and then to get ready to lift conditions on your Greencard and get a ten year one... there's a whole seperate (if quiet) forum for that so check it out. And after THAT comes citizenship if you so desire...

So it takes 10 years to become a citizen? I had no idea it took that long! Can my husband have dual citizenship between the USA AND THE UK?

No, it doesn't take 10 years to be eligible for US citizenship. If married to a USC, it takes three years of being a Resident and spending most of that time in the US. One can apply 90 days prior to meeting that 3 year requirement.

After AOS if you are permanent resident you just relax and enjoy your life. That is what I am planning to do. No more worrying about what would happen if we move to this other state, if our income would not meet the requirements etc.

It is nice to be free of worries on what might go wrong.
