Good afternoon,
I'm looking for some advice regarding my immigration status.
I came to the US in December 2002 on a K1 marriage visa. We were married in March 2003. I followed the paperwork and filed I-485 and was granted a 2 year Permanent Resident Status. All went well and within the time limits given.
The trouble is, I did not file I-751 in a timely manner and the card expired in 2005.
I have a social security number, have been gainfully employed for years, am still married, pay my taxes each year, own a home and have not left the US, if that makes any difference.
My question is, and I obviously know a ridiculous amount of time has passed, should I now file the I-485 again with an I-130 (my wife is a full US citizen and we have a child (born in 2009)) or should I attempt to file an I-751? Or is there something else I should do?
Thank you for any pointers.
Jeff
