I was a member of this group many years ago having navigated this
hellish process. Hopefully it is somewhat better now than it was in
2000 and 2001. My prayers are with you all.

I became naturalized in 2006. Is there any reason at all to keep
copies of all my old paperwork as it pertaines to my work permit,
advanced parole, green card? It's a thick ol' binder that seems
pretty useless since I have a certificate of naturalization now.

Any reason to keep this mountain of old paperwork?

Other than sentimental reasons, probably not.
I also have a big binder with this stuff... I was thinking of scanning it all
in. A CD takes a lot less space.

OK! What forms and what process is used to "remove" the conditions of a the
2 year green card that my wife has now as the result of the K-1 visa. We
have no children. Her conditional green card expires soon.
