2 to 10 Years: Get Your Permanent Green Card

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.
