Removal of Conditions

What this form is used for

Conditional permanent residence is generally valid for two years. Form I-751 asks USCIS to review the marriage and remove the condition so the person can hold a full ten-year permanent resident card.

Who may generally use this form

• Conditional permanent residents whose card was granted based on a marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident
• Conditional residents filing during the window USCIS specifies before the card expires
• People requesting a waiver of the joint filing requirement in situations described in the official instructions
• Whether you qualify for a waiver, and which one applies, must be evaluated by a licensed attorney or DOJ-accredited representative

Documents commonly requested

• Copy of the conditional Permanent Resident Card, front and back
• Evidence of a shared residence, such as a lease, mortgage, or utility bills
• Joint financial records, such as bank statements, tax returns, or insurance
• Photographs and documentation of shared life events
• Birth certificates of children born to the marriage, if any
• Court records if the marriage ended in divorce or annulment, when filing with a waiver
• Government-issued photo identification
