What is a Removal of Conditions (Conditional Green Card)?


Removal of Conditions is required when the resident obtained their Green Card prior to being married for 2 years to their petitioning spouse. The government authorizes a 2-year conditional card for the new resident and requires that the resident return in two years and show that they are either still married in good faith to the same person or, if divorced, that the marriage was in good faith and legitimate, and ended for normal reasons. A divorced filing requires a waiver.  


The Removal of Conditions procedure includes not only submission of various forms and documents, but could require an interview at an office of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Many people believe that this is as simple as submitting a form, however, the government is very strict and requires a good amount of evidence to approve the removal.



Who is Eligible for Removal of Conditions?


A person is not only eligible for a Removal of Conditions, but is required to file for the Removal between 1 year and 9 months and 2 years of the date that they received their green card initially. If a person has gotten divorced, they must seek to immediately file for their removal of conditions because they have technically already violated the conditions of their residency and are out of status. This divorced filing requires a waiver.


What Documents do I need to file for Removal of Conditions?


This is proprietary information; however, we can say that most people underestimate the document filing requirements for this process. They will just file the form and not the accompanying required proofs, and their case is inevitably denied. We help you have a much higher chance of receiving a favorable outcome in your case. 


The completed packet of forms, documents, photos, and fees must be submitted to the USCIS office having jurisdiction over your U.S. place of residence.


After you submit your packet, USCIS will review it for completeness. If something is missing, USCIS will return the whole thing to you for refiling (send you an or Request for Evidence).
