Lafayette, TN asked in Immigration Law for Tennessee

Q: My green card expired 04/01/2016, I just noticed. I am still married to my American wife, what do I do? I-75I form??

I have been married for 5 years. I received my card 04/01/2014 and I just seen it expired 04/01/2016. We are still happily married. What can I do to fix this, what are my options? We are on a very limited budget.

A: You should still file the I-751 with an explanation as to why you were late on filing. If that doesn't work, your options become more complicated.

A: You and your wife can file joint I-751 petition with the required documents. You will also have to provide an affidavit explaining why you are filing late. Good luck to you.
