Hi All,
I obtained my GC through marriage in February 2008, and originally I received a conditional GC. My GC processing took almost two years. Since at the time of my original GC issuance my marriage was 2 years and 1 month long, I submitted an I-90 and asked them to give me an unconditional GC. I received the unconditional (10-year long IR6) GC in March 2008. So far so good.
However, about a month ago I received a notice that I need to submit a petition to remove conditions from my GC. My marriage is legitimate and is very much alive, but I do not want to go through the additional hassle and spend another ~$600 in fees. How should I proceed ? Will calling the number provided in the notice help ? I have read that the staffers there are sometimes not very knowledgeable. Or should I request and Infopass ? Or maybe submit another I-90 ?
Update: I called the 800 number and as I expected they asked me to take an InfoPass. I have an appointment in two days. What should I expect there, namely are they going to be able at least to understand the situation ? Also, is there any chance they might to take my GC away on the premise that there was a screw-up and it should conditional ? I am worried about this since I have a trip coming up in three weeks.
Also, what should I expect at the InfoPass in LA ? Are the lines going to long ?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
