Removal of Conditions almost one year after filing

[Son of Clyde]

The temp green cards were dated 06/07/06.
I filed to remove conditions 03/15/08.
Isn't the one year extension going to be 06/07/09?
What happens if the case is not resolved in 06/07/09?
USCIS seems to be backed up, so it may take 18 months instead of a year from when we filed.

What happens if the case is not resolved in 06/07/09?

File for U.S. citizenship (form N-400).

SOC-

I agree with the above. Technically, DHS now accepts and process application for citizenships 8 months after removal of conditions, or 2-years and 8-months from the original conditional GC issuance date.

She then gets to pledge her allegiance in roughly 6-8 months from that point.

Theoretically, from K-1 arrival to citizenship, less than 4 years.

S of Clyde-  I believe they will send you a second NOA to extend another year for travel, employment and perm residency if the first extention runs out, or you can go to your immigration office and get a stamp.  -jj

I also read where as mentioned above you can do a N-400 while you are waiting for y our removal of conditions, and during the N-400 interview, they remove the conditions, if they have not already done so.

"According to the regulations at 8 CFR 216.4(a)(1), “Upon receipt of a properly filed Form I-751, the alien’s conditional permanent resident status shall be extended automatically, if necessary, until such time as the director has adjudicated the petition.” Thus, any conditional resident who has filed a Form I-751 remains a conditional resident until a decision is made on his or her Form I-751. Such conditional resident is eligible to receive evidence of his or her conditional resident status.

If a conditional resident whose I-551 has expired and whose I-797 has “expired” or is about to “expire” requests documentation of his or her status for travel or employment purposes, the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) officer who is processing this request should first check MFAS. If the Form I-751 is still pending, the BCIS officer should collect the expired Form I-551 and issue either:
• A temporary I-551 stamp with a 12-month expiration date in the conditional resident’s unexpired, foreign passport (if the expiration date of the passport is one year or more); or
• If the conditional resident is not in possession of an unexpired foreign passport, a Form I-94 (arrival portion) containing a temporary I-551 stamp with a 12-month expiration date and a photograph of the conditional resident."

Thank you. I was aware she could file for US Citizenship after 06/07/09, so this might  be the best option. I want to keep all options open.
