I have a 2 year marriage based gc, that's set to expire this year. I'm planning on filing an extension and curious if anyone has done this recently and if yes, how long was the processing time? Thanks

They are taking on average about 2 years to process so you might as well apply for citizenship once you reach the 3 year mark of being a green card holder..

Still waiting for my husbands removal of conditions that we filed last June. We will apply for his citizenship in June.

If you’re worried about legal presence and IDs expiring while waiting for your green card petition to complete, when you file the request you will get a notice of action that extends your legal presence date by 48 months from your current green card expiration date. I think you can use that notice to extend your IDs at the RMV (at least I’m going to try this next week).
