1. Do you go to local Ins office for EAD after entering the country with K3 visa (that is what the Immigration told at POE) or file it with Chicago office under life act?

2. Why should a separate EAD application be required while filing AOS since the AOS itself takes care of EAD issue and adjusted status should allow you to work?

In case you want to answer the Q#3:

When to file the application for remove the conditional permanent residence? 2 years from the day of marriage or 2 years from the date they issue conditional permanent residence?


Thank you for help!!

Rete I just looked it up on my little slip of valuable paper
they gave me. That tells me:

".....you have been granted Conditional Permanent Residence
Status as of 07/31/2002. You mus file form I-751, Petition
to Remove the Conditions on Residence, between 05/01/2004
and 07/30/2004 (ie. the ninety (90) day period just prior to
the second anniversary of you becoming a Conditional
Permanent Resident.)"

-So it actually needs to be done between 1 year and 9 months
and 2 years after receiving the CPR?
-Again my question: does this mean I do not need to renew my
EAD and AP? In short: is this you think the same as having a Greencard?

Thx

You are a CPR. You do not need and EAD or an AP. You have all the rights of a permanent resident. One year and 9 months after the date on your green card or 90 days before it expires you file the I-751. You will receive an I-797 notice extending the green card for one year while the removal process is being done.

Your green card will arrive in the mail.

But as for now (more than 6 months after the interview) I do
not have a (conditional) green card..........that is my
problem with it. How can a cut-in-half piece of lettersize
paper be my entrance to work and travel??

Six months and still no green card in the mail? Go to the INS office and have them stamp your passport with the I-551 stamp. That is the paper equivalent of the green card. While you are there have them check that they mailed your I-89 to the Service Center for the card to be made up. That was our problem. The dumb ass DAO never forwarded the form to Vermont for processing.

OK, I thought I needed to do that. Tried it in December and
after three hours of waiting the lady told me the file was
not yet closed, though I had my CPR, like I said. I had to
wait another two hours for him to get back from an
appointment and a lunch. Sorry but that was a bit much. Left
my phonenumber on her advice, but was never called back.

Now that I received my renewed passport today (within three
weeks, produced in The Hague, speaking about efficiency: eat
your heart out) I can go and give it another try.
