Remove conditions on a green card

A green card through a marriage younger than two years is conditional. Form I-751, filed in the 90 days before the card expires, removes the conditions and makes your residence permanent.

The forms

What's in the packet

I-751

The petition to remove the conditions on a two-year marriage green card.

Requirements

What you have to show

The window

  • Filed in the 90 days before the conditional card expires — early is rejected, late needs a good-cause explanation.

The marriage, across two years

  • Joint evidence spanning the whole conditional period: accounts, lease or deed, insurance, taxes, children born to the marriage.
  • Both signatures on a joint filing — or one, under the waivers the law names for divorce, abuse, or hardship.

The steps

How the case runs

  1. The window opens

    90 days before the card’s expiration date — the check computes it from your card.

  2. File Form I-751

    The receipt notice extends your status and your proof while USCIS decides.

  3. Possible interview, then the ten-year card

    Some cases are decided on paper; others get an interview. Approval replaces the conditional card with the permanent one.

How it works

How your petition gets built

  1. You answer simple questions

    In English, Spanish, or Portuguese. The software puts your answers on the official USCIS forms.

  2. Your packet comes together

    Your evidence is sorted into a numbered exhibit index, and every field, signature, and document is checked for completeness.

  3. You file it

    Download the assembled packet and file it yourself — or have an independent licensed attorney review and file it for you.

Pricing

What it costs

Your exact technology fee depends on your petition type and is shown during the free eligibility check, before you pay anything. USCIS filing fees are set by the government and paid by you directly to USCIS.

Questions

Common questions

Can I get a green card through marriage?

If you are married to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, a marriage green card may be your path — inside or outside the U.S. The free check asks about your situation and shows the exact forms, documents, and government fees for your case.

Which relatives can I petition for?

Spouses, parents, children, and siblings each have their own petition paths, and which ones are open depends on whether the petitioner is a citizen or a permanent resident. Pick the relationship in the chooser, or let the free check identify the right petition from your answers.

My fiancé lives abroad — can I bring them to the U.S.?

The K-1 fiancé visa is the path for bringing your fiancé to marry in the U.S. Its page explains the requirements and documents, and the free check confirms whether it fits your situation.
