I-751 REMOVAL OF CONDITIONS ON RESIDENCE
If your green card is obtained through marriage to a U.S. citizen, and the marriage is less than 2 years old at the time you receive the green card, you will receive a conditional permanent resident card which is valid for 2 years only.
The conditional permanent resident card is temporary and cannot be renewed. Therefore, in order to remain a permanent resident, a conditional permanent resident must file a petition to remove conditions on residence during the 90 days before the card expires. If you do not apply to remove the conditions in time, you could lose your conditional resident status and be removed from the United States.
To remove the conditions on a Green Card based on marriage, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence with USCIS. Upon successfully removing the conditions on residence, you will become a lawful permanent resident with your green card being valid for 10 years.
We can assist you with I-751 petitions to remove conditions on residence, including joint petitions by married couples, and waivers by divorced individuals.
