Two years later. Time to file for petition to remove my 2-yr conditional residency. I used Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence. The purpose of this form is for a conditional resident who obtained status through marriage to apply to remove the conditions on his or her residence. As of this writing, the filing fee is $505. (Add $85 biometric fee for a total of $590, where applicable. See the form instructions for payment details.) So if you are in this stage, you need to check the USCIS website for current fees.
In my case, after USCIS received my petition, I got a 1-year extension of my Green Card while they processed my paper. So I had to show my employer the original copy of 1-yr extension and they made a copy of it. If I did not have that piece of paper I would lose my job.
Some people got their 10yr GC easily on the same year. And I know a couple that did not have to go for interview and their Green Card was approved. But I was one of the unlucky "aliens" that had to go through a lot before I got my GC. I think, the reason for the delay of my 10yr GC was because we moved and we had to changed our address.
