Mailing Date for I-751
Hi All
my 3 months date before my condition green card expiration will be day 20 in the month . Can I mail it 3 or 4 days before that date ?
I'll be on December 20 05 holding the conditional green card for 21 month. can I mail I-751 on December 16 or so . the mail takes 3 to 4 days till it arrives to the service center , Can I do that ? I am worried that the Service Center return it back to me in that case because I'll mail it earlier than December 20
Thanks

Nope. 90 days is 90 days.

Trust me, with the wait times what they are, a day or two headstart is a drop in the bucket.

Wait until you are WITHIN the 90 day window to mail it.

Dumb move. Assume that you have miscounted the 90 days and send it in a week later. CIS has this bug up their rear end about premature filings -- lets say it gets in one day early -- takes two years to process and they deny it because it was filed one day early.
You think this is ridiculous? You are right. But it is the law.

My point was that it does NOT have to be submitted on the very first day of the 90-day window. Also, I would NOT assume that CIS can count. I learned that one a long time ago.

Re: Mailing Date for I-751
I beleive the date you sign the i-751 application (next to signature
on the I-751 form) should be in the 90 day window, which will make
both the mailing date and the receipt date(by INS) within the 90
calender days window.
