I-751 Question

[Phil & Ningning]

I have a friend at work who's wife entered the US on a K1 from Mexico. She has a young son that followed to join with a K2 nine months later. The boy got his green card some six months or so after his mother got hers.

 

It is just days away from time to file her I-751 and my friend asked me today if he should file for the boy at the same time, in the same package, or completely separate from his mother's application, due to the fact that the two year card is still valid for another nine months at this time.

 

I didn't know so I told him I would ask the experts.

It says specifically that in that situation the son must file separately.

If the green card expire dates are within 90 days of each other you can do this on the same application, otherwise each must file seperately.

I think the bottom line is the expiration date on both GCs which have to fall within the 90 days filing period. If the son is following 9 months later I can't see both GC's dates expiring in the same period.
