Removing Green Card Conditions

Married a U.S. citizen to get a green card (with conditions)? Here's how to remove them:

File on Time (Crucial!)

  • You have 90 days before your conditional green card expires to file Form I-751 with USCIS. Missing this window can lead to removal proceedings.

Gather Evidence of Your Bona Fide Marriage

  • Proof like joint finances, leases, tax returns, and friend/family affidavits strengthen your case.

Complete and File Form I-751

  • Include all required documents and the filing fee (waiver possible if struggling financially).

Biometrics Appointment

  • Attend a USCIS center for fingerprints, photo, and signature verification.

Interview (Possible)

  • Be prepared to answer questions about your marriage under oath (with your spouse).

USCIS Decision

  • They'll review everything and notify you of their decision.

  • If approved, you'll receive a new, 10-year green card without conditions.
