Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	Question regarding Green card expiration.	Hey guys, sup.. it's been two year. My card is about to expire and I should technically sent a I-751 next month. But the thing is I am a bit confused. Most people talk about conditional status etc. My card says Permanent Resident. I did a K-1 Visa back then and moved without problem. Did not even need to do a follow up Interview. My green card just got sent in the mail and it was valid for 2 year. It's gonna expire the 09/21/12. So if that make sens to you. Please tell me I am no different and I still have to fill the I-751 to get my 10 year green card.
