- used by conditional residents that obtained status through marriage to remove conditions on green card and receive a 10-year green card.

Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Green Card FAQs
If your dependent children acquired conditional permanent resident status on the same day as you or within 90 days thereafter, simply include their names and A-numbers on the same Form I-751 that you are preparing for yourself. However, if your dependent children acquired conditional permanent resident status more than 90 days after you, or the parent is now deceased, use a separate Form I-751 to remove the conditions.
If you are filing Form I-751 jointly with your spouse, you should file it within the 90-day period before your conditional residence expires.
If you are applying for a waiver of the joint filing requirement, you may file Form I-751 at any time after you are granted conditional permanent residence and before you are removed from the U.S.
Typically, you are required to file Form I-751 jointly with the spouse through whom you obtained conditional status. You may apply for a waiver of the joint filing requirement if:
- You entered the marriage in good faith, but your spouse subsequently died; or
- You entered the marriage in good faith, but the marriage was later terminated due to divorce or annulment; or
- You entered the marriage in good faith, but you have been battered or subject to extreme cruelty by your petitioning spouse; or
- Your conditional resident parent entered the marriage in good faith, but you have been battered or subject to extreme cruelty by your parent’s U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse or by your conditional resident parent; or
- The termination of your status and removal would result in extreme hardship.
If you need to file I-751 with a hardship waiver as described above, your case is not straight forward. There will be a higher standard to prove that you entered the marriage in good faith. CitizenPath recommends that you speak to an immigration attorney before filing Form I-751 with a hardship waiver.
When filing Form I-751, the petitioners should include more than adequate evidence that the marriage was entered in good faith. The government wants to ensure there was no marriage fraud. Depending on your answers to other questions in the petition, you may need to include other evidence.
When you use CitizenPath, we will provide you a custom set of filing instructions (based on your answers) that detail the documents you should include when filing Form I-751. We also provide templates for attaching additional records and an I-751 sample cover letter.
Most people do not need a lawyer to file Form I-751. In fact CitizenPath uses a unique process created by attorneys to screen your application. If you answer a question in a way that could be problematic, you will get an instant alert to contact an attorney. And there is no cost to you.
If you have an arrest record, blemished immigration record, or need to file Form I-751 with a hardship waiver, you should consult with an immigration attorney before using CitizenPath to prepare your USCIS forms. Not sure? That’s why we let you try our service for free.
Once you have properly filed Form I-751, it generally takes about 8-12 months to receive your new 10-year green card.

Soon after filing, you will receive a letter that extends your conditional permanent resident status while you wait for a decision.
