Understanding the I-751 Process
The I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, is a required step for immigrants who obtained a two-year conditional green card through marriage. You must file this petition jointly with your spouse during the 90-day period before your conditional residency expires. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. § 1186a), USCIS will then review your petition to determine if your marriage was bona fide. If you are divorced or separated, you may still file a waiver of the joint filing requirement, but the evidence requirements become more stringent. A conditional green card removal lawyer Fluvanna County can guide you through these options.
For official information, review the Virginia Code and the Virginia Courts website.
- Gather two years of continuous cohabitation evidence (joint leases, bills, bank accounts, insurance, photos).
- Complete Form I-751 accurately, ensuring all dates match your prior filings.
- If filing a waiver due to divorce, prepare affidavits and legal documents explaining the marriage’s bona fides.
- Submit the petition with fees and evidence to the correct USCIS lockbox before the deadline.
- Respond promptly to any USCIS requests, and prepare for a potential interview at the Fairfax office.
- Receive your 10-year permanent green card upon approval.
