Once the USCIS receives your petition it will send you a receipt notice. Shortly thereafter your spouse will receive a USCIS notice instructing her to appear at an Application Support Center to have her fingerprints taken.

You may have noticed that the form cover letter we provided for this petition requests a waiver of the often required interview for the I-751 petition. If the waiver is granted you will not have to attend an interview and the you will simply receive an approval notice a new permanent resident card in the mail.

If an interview is required you will have to attend an interview at a USCIS District office in your area. You will receive a notice from the USCIS if this is required.

Once your spouse receives her permanent residency card the process is over. She will have to renew her green card periodically and it is important to do this at least 6 months of the expiration date on the card.

Congratulations!
