Hi guyz !!
I got my green card in august 2009 and coming month i mean from tomorrow i can go and file for removing my conditions from the green card.
So, i need some information i hope i'll get some help. I have few questions.
1. Is it fine if i file by my self i mean i don't wanna go out and ask somebody like lawyer to file it for me. If i do i by my self and if i file by some lawyer is it same ? i mean are there some tricks and tips required from lawyer or its just fine if i do it by my self ?
2. What things i need ? ( I have the list but i just wanna make sure)
3. When i'll get my new 10years green card then how much longer it'll take me to file for the citizenship ?
I heard it takes 2years and 9months to file for citizenship since you get your green card.
But a guy told me that when you'll get your new 10years greencard you have to wait 2years and 9months after that 10years card means altogether 5+ years ?
My Question is when i'll be eligible for the citizenship filling ?
4. I do need some affidavits from 2 or 3 people who know me so are they need to be only friends or anybody can do it for me like my relatives ?
5. Where can i get some sample affidavits that i need ?
Please suggest .
Regards.
 
The requirement to become a citizen is 5 years from when you get your first GC, BUT if you obtained the card through marriage then it is 3 years since you received your first card. There are other requirements needed for the 3 year rule. You can apply for citizenship upto 90 days before you would otherwise become eligable.

More information can be obtained by filling out the worksheet on this link http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/attachments.pdf
 
Your new card will have the SAME resident since DATE for naturalization purposes. THAT GUY was wrong!

IF your documents demonstrate that the marriage is real, affidavits are of less importance. Got mingled assets and debts? Kids? It is assumed that you and your spouse would have some other couples as friends so, those would be better than relatives who are presumed to be biased at best and complicit at worst. Don't copy someone else's affidavits, they are better if free-form and true. If people know you as a couple, they just need to say so and in what way. Anniversaries, holidays, trips, neighbors, work-friends, church/temple/mosque social events? FORMULAIC affidavits start out looking fake.

The only TRICKS are plain old competence and honesty. Read the I-751 directions and follow them.

Exactly when was your green card approved? May and July have 31 days, so even if your green card was approved on August 1st the earliest you can apply is May 3rd. Remember the filing window starts 90 days before the 2-year anniversary of the GC, and 90 days isn't exactly the same as 3 months. File too early and they'll reject it.

Most people file it successfully without a lawyer.

Affidavits are a last resort for people whose other evidence is weak. Don't bother with affidavits if you have other strong evidence -- for example, joint bank statements, tax return filed jointly, joint lease/mortgage/house title, joint ownership or lease of other major assets such as cars and stocks, joint credit card statements (or separate statements going to the same address, if you don't have any joint credit cards).
