ahh I see if she submits the I-751 within 90s days of expiration of the greencard, will it prevent her from returning to the US after traveling overseas, assuming the greencard at that time will be expired?

My wife got her greencard in Oct 2023, it's good for 2 years(she got here on K-1 Visa incase anyone is wondering). Currently the processing times for I-751 are 31 Months.... Now here's where im confused, when am I supposed to apply for her renewal? Some say in 6 months before expiration but after seeing the 31 month processing times I got the application and evidence completed and ready to send now. She travels back home (India) every year and I didn't want the expired greencard being an issue when she comes back to the USA. I don't know why I didnt see this sooner but the website says I can only submit the renewal when theres only 90 days left on the expiration???

thanks for the quick replies, does the marriage certificate need to be a certified copy or can it just a scanned copy?

my wife is a permanent resident and it has her new name(after marriage) on the PR Card but her foreign passport still has her old pre-marriage name when we leave to depart, i know the airlines will check the passport and match it with authorized travel document, which in our case is her PR card the names will not match and im not sure if this will create an issue, she also has her state ID card and copy of the marriage certificate which shows the name change

I just got my green card and that means I can travel back to India. Since getting married my middle and last names changed, all my USA documents have my new name but the Indian Passport still has my old maiden name so my last name is different on there. When I book the flights I will use my new name but when I land in India they will obviously say the names don't match. Can I just show them my marriage certificate and the section where it shows my name change details?

We got approved on Oct 5 via app notification. I am trying to get an idea of when the green card will arrive. Please someone reply

thank you for your prompt response, I have updated my timeline. We have been married for 6 months, i guess we will get a 2 year card? also: with this green card, how does traveling overseas work, will she just use her current foreign passport?

The USCIS app just told me my wife's I-485 was approved. I have a few questions. 1. What happens next? Some say theres an interview, others say they will mail the Permanent Resident Card in a week? 2. Usually the I-485 takes the longest, my wife's I-765 and I-131 are still being processed, if she gets her Permanent Resident Card will she need the advance parole and work authorization still?

We only had the legal wedding where a judge marries us and have two witnesses sign. Since my husband has been very busy with work we decided to postpone our real wedding(for a lack of a better term) until next spring, not sure if I need to mention this in the letter. We live with my husbands parents so we don't have a lease or property ownership documents. All the below listed documents show our same current address though. I am submitting: State ID Card Social Security Card and letter which includes our home address. Moda Health Insurance cards and letter listing me on my husband’s health insurance plan as a dependent. Joint Bank Account Letter showing our shared checking and savings accounts. Phone Bill which lists my phone number and name as part of the family plan. Various photos of us since our marriage. Sworn affidavits of my husband’s co-worker and my husband’s parents. Certified copy of our marriage certificate(which was already sent when we first applied for AOS) We are also going to hawaii next week for vacation, should I wait after then so I can submit the hotel and flight boarding passes with the RFE response?

I got an RFE because I missed a question asking about if I had a criminal history, since I'm sending it in I wanted to use this opportunity to also send in a letter from shaadi.com (matrimony website) that explains that website is not a IMB because I noticed a thread where someone got an RFE due to them meeting on a matrimony/dating site. They had to get a letter from the site explaining they are not a IMB (International Marriage Broker). On our application we put "No" to did you meet on a IMB, because it is not, but in the letter explaining how we met I did say we met on shaadi.com and I had a premium membership. The RFE did not mention anything about it so I am wondering if I should address it as well. I ask this because I found out it is common for them to send out more RFE's after receiving the previous RFE, so I wanted to kill two birds with on stone.
