Married to a US citizen and got a 2-year green card? Form I-751 helps remove those conditions and get a permanent 10-year green card!
What is Conditional Permanent Residence?
This applies to green cards issued based on a marriage less than two years old. The green card itself is only valid for two years.
Removing the Conditions
Use Form I-751 to petition USCIS to remove these conditions and get a full 10-year green card.
Eligibility:
-
Still married to the US citizen/permanent resident spouse.
-
If divorced, prove the marriage was real (not for immigration purposes).
What Documents Do I Need?
-
Proof of a bona fide (good faith) marriage (joint bank accounts, leases, photos, etc.).
What Happens After Filing?
USCIS reviews your petition and documents. If approved, you’ll receive your permanent 10-year green card!
Overall, Form I-751 helps recently married green card holders remove limitations and enjoy permanent residency in the US.
