Chicago Removal of Conditions I-751 Lawyers
Removal of conditions on marriage green card is a petition that must be filed if you gain your conditional residence (conditional green card) through marriage. Foreign spouses that are admissible to the United States and married to a U.S. citizen are eligible for a conditional residence status (conditional green card status). A conditional residence status is granted if your marriage is less than two years at the time of petition, and an additional petition called “removal of conditions” or I-751 petition must be filed upon the 2nd year anniversary of becoming a conditional permanent resident. The filing of a removal of conditions on marriage green card will allow you to become a permanent resident and ultimately become a naturalized U.S. citizen.
