My green card expires in 10 months, and for now I'd like to renew it and not apply for citizenship. I started working on the online form, and seems that they require the current green card to expire in 6 months before completing and sending the form. However, I saw at various websites that the processing time can take 10-12 months. Is it true that I can not apply now for a green card renewal? If so, what do I do in the 6 months until I get the new green card? THank you.

Thank you very much. If I may ask - 1) When do I make the appointment for I-551? Should I do it now? Wait till it's 6 months before the expiration of the green card? 2) I got here on work visa, and here got married to an American citizen, and had a status adjustment. I do not have an immigration visa stamp on my passport (or any other visa stamp for that matter). Can I still get the I-551 or is that a problem? 3) With the stamp, am I able to travel internationally with no problem entering back into the US? Your help is much appreciated?
