Removal of Conditions
After marrying a U.S. citizen or a legal permanent resident, if an applicant receives a green card that is approved during the marriage phase of less than two years, the applicant’s residency is considered as ‘conditional.’ The issued ‘conditional green card’ is valid for two years. The couple must file the Form I-751, Petition To Remove Conditions on Residence, with USCIS 90 days prior to the green card expiry.
Removal of Conditions: I-751 Filing Types
Joint Petition
Both spouses sign the petition together proving marriage is genuine and continues with strong faith.
Waiver Petition
In any of the following cases, a spouse can apply for a waiver and file alone:
- Marriage entered in a good faith but eventually it ended in divorce.
- Death of a Spouse.
- Spouse was subjected to abuse or extreme cruelty.
- Termination of status would cause an unendurable situation.
