Applying to remove the conditions
Applying to remove the conditions on your conditional green card is essential to secure your permanent resident status in the U.S. and obtain a 10-year green card. To obtain this benefit, the Form I-751 must typically be filed within the 90-day period with USCIS before your conditional green card expires. If you are married, you and your spouse must jointly file the form and provide evidence that your marriage is bona fide (genuine). In cases of divorce, abuse, or other exceptional circumstances, you may apply on your own by requesting a waiver. All supporting documents such as proof of ongoing qualifying relationship, identity, and legal status is required with the application. After submission, USCIS may request an interview or additional documentation. If the conditions are not removed on a permanent card before the card expires, legal status may be lost and those individuals may face deportation.
