Form I-751: The Pathway to U.S. Permanent Residency

After two years as a conditional permanent resident, newly married foreign citizens must file Form I-751 to achieve lawful permanent resident status.

To curb marital immigration fraud, USCIS issues two-year conditional green cards to individuals married for under two years. To secure lawful permanent resident status and eliminate residency restrictions, filing Form I-751 before the two-year mark is mandatory.

What Is Conditional Permanent Residency?

For conditional permanent residents, green cards are only valid for two years and cannot be renewed. To receive a new green card, which is renewable every ten years, you must submit Form I-751 to remove the residency conditions.

Aside from the non-renewable nature of conditional green cards, individuals with conditional permanent residency enjoy the same rights and responsibilities as those holding standard 10-year green cards.

When To File Form I-751

When filing Form I-751 with USCIS, ensure it is submitted within the ninety-day window before your conditional green card's expiration if filing jointly with your spouse. For those filing separately, you have a 60-day timeframe from the issuance of your conditional green card to file alone or request a waiver.

You may file alone if your marriage was entered in good faith but the following happened:

• Your spouse has deceased,
• Your marriage was annulled or you divorced, or
• You endured severe cruelty from your petitioner spouse.
• You are the victim of severe cruelty or domestic violence at the hands of your conditional resident parent, your parent's spouse who is a lawful permanent residence, or both, or
• You would face severe hardship if your resident status was terminated and you were removed from the United States.

If you allow your conditional green card to expire without taking any action, you will lose your conditional residency in the United States and become an expatriate. However, you may still file a late petition with an explanation if you were not at fault for failing to submit Form I-751 on time.
