Remove Conditions on Green Card based on Marriage

Removal of Conditions I-751 Green Card Lawyer Attorney Chicago

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.

Who can file for Removal of Conditions I-751?

  • You and your U.S. petitioning citizen spouse can file jointly, if you are still married together.
  • Your child from previous marriage, if your child is a conditional resident based on your marriage with the same sponsoring spouse.
  • You only, if your marriage is ended through divorce or annulment, but can prove that your marriage was in “good faith” meaning you entered the marriage based on true love and not for any immigration benefits.
  • You are a widow or widower of a marriage that was entered into in good faith;
  • You entered into a marriage in good faith, but either you or your child were battered or subjected to extreme hardship by your U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse;
  • The termination of your conditional resident status would cause extreme hardship to you.
