Yup. Although I wouldn't suggest waiting until the last minute either...having to refile late if it is rejected, having no proof of current LPR status, etc. is annoying (since it takes like a month to get the extension letter!).

okay thank u so much....so i think filling in the beginning of january or middle of january would be good enough right?

You have until March 18th, 2018 to file. You cannot file more than 90 days prior to that.

wow are u serious?! thats what that means?! dang lol soi was stressing for nothing?!

Yes, it is OK.

 

so it wont be too late? cuz numerous websites seemed to have confused me about it...always thought it had be before that 90 days....but it is within that 90 days? so if it expires march 18th,2018, can i still file beginning of january? (not trying to push it cause i do want to send it in asap but with christmas, its hard to put that 700 together)

hey guys got a very quick question here, but ive read all kinda different things so i really need some clarity, i would greatly appreciate it

my current (2 year) green card expires on the 18th of March, 2018....so technically today, december 14th, its still more than 90 days until it expires, but i mightnot be able tofile until the end of december because of financial reasons, thats just when i get paid....would i still be good to send it off/file at the end of this month?! so they would receive it when it'd be less than 90 days before my GC expires, is that stil okay??? really need to know thank you

I think what you're talking about is the removal of conditions process to apply for your 10 year green card rather than your adjustment of status. 

 

Either way, have you looked at the visajourney lists/checklists?  They have some great resources.

yes thats what i meant im sorry...but whats the difference

hey guys, i really need some help. im trying to fill out all the paperwork for my adjustement of status, my current and first green card expires end of march so im trying to get it together but its confusing to me what i find online. can anybody give me a good website or a checklist of all the things and documents i need to fill out? i feel overwhlemed so i would really appreciate it if someone could give me a good resource that will help me prepare it and show it step by step...also...how much is the current fee for filling? basically, how much money do i need RIGHT NOW just to send it in with the packet? not talking bout later fees, just right now...when ill be mailing it all to them this week, thank u very much

Well, when do you have to file for ROC? 

 

If you have been gathering information of bona fide marriage for these 2 years, and you are together, file for ROC. I am guessing you need to do as soon as possible since you got your card in 2015 and we are almost at the end of 2017. 

 

You do not have to stay together. You can file for divorce. But I would focus on ROC because you don't have much time left to send that. 

 

Divorced people file for ROC with divorce waiver all the time. But you don't have time to divorce since your Green Card is about to expire (I'm guessing from your dates).

thank you for your reponse. so you are saying i should do the ROC first and then file for a divorce? i mean wouldnt that be lying in a way....that i will make it seem like we are a happy normal marriage to do ROC....when in fact we are not...and now that my husband is aware that i want a divorce, he might not want to help me with ROC....he's very childish and won't even talk to me about any of this.

You do not  need his permission to divorce, do so and move on.

okay, well...can you guys give me some tips as to how i can go about that....like, won't it matter than my current green card expires in march of 2018? if i file for a divorce, will that not affect the green card stuff? i do wanna be able to stay here and eventually become a citizen

Hey guys, I'm new here...

Forgive me if I am not posting in the right thread but I hope I am. I really hope I can get some answers, thank you so much in advance.

Long story short...I married a US citizen in 2014, we first had him move to my country but that didn't work out so we applied for the finace visa and got approved. In 2014 we got married, in 2015 I received my green card for 2 years....now it will expire beginning of 2018...but I am in a strange situation because my marriage has gotten very bad and abusive (not physically abusive) and after several months and months of trying to make it work - it's just not. I have become severely depressed and I feel trapped, because my husband threatens to try and "Deport me" and/or hurt himself if I leave him. That is exactly what made me stay with him for all this time, our marriage began to mess up about a year ago or so. I don't know what to do...I feel threatened and enslaved, I would really like to just get a divorce and move on with my life but he says he will never give me a divorce...im seriously on the edge when it comes to my emotional/mental health and i need some suggestions/advice....

what can i even do at this point? i do want to stay in America - it has become my home and I have found a job I would like to make a career out of...but i literally feel like an object...and i feel like if i dont stay with him then i dont even deserve to be in this country - that's how he is making me feel....but i know i came here in good faith, i truly loved him and wanted to spend my life with him but things just became gradually worse and worse....

i didnt know where else to turn to so i decided to post here...any input and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. not even sure what the next step could be?
