How to file a “Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence”

Most green cards last 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely. But if you were married less than 2 years when you obtained permanent residence through marriage, you likely received a “conditional” green card valid for just 2 years.

Before it expires, you’ll need to file Form I-751 (officially called the “Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence”) in order to receive a “permanent” green card that’s renewable every 10 years.

Entrepreneurs who obtained a conditional green card through investment would need to file a different form, called the I-829 .

U.S. immigration can be complex and confusing. Boundless is here to help. Learn more.

Start planning your immigration journey today with Boundless.

Form I-751 (officially called the “Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence”) is a form used to upgrade a 2-year conditional green card to a full 10-year green card. This process is called the “ removal of conditions ” on the marriage-based green card and is important because a conditional green card otherwise expires after 2 years.

Conditional (or “CR-1”) green cards are issued to people who have been married less than 2 years when they gain permanent residence through marriage to a U.S. citizen or green card holder.

The information provided on Form I-751 is used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine whether the applicant’s marriage is genuine and wasn’t entered into for the sole purpose of acquiring a green card.

If your marriage has since ended, you can still apply to remove the conditions on your green card, but you’ll need to explain and provide evidence to show that your marriage was genuine.

Do You Need to File Form I-751?

Everyone issued a conditional green card must file Form I-751 shortly before the 2-year anniversary of their green card’s approval. You likely have conditional resident status if at the time your green card was approved you were married to a U.S. citizen or green card holder less than 2 years.

You can check whether you have conditional residence by looking at the front of your green card. If your card has the letters “ CR1 ” under the “Category” heading, then you have a conditional green card. You can also check the expiration date on your green card to see if you were issued a 2-year or 10-year green card.

Generally, the conditional-resident spouse and the spouse who originally sponsored their green card must file Form I-751 jointly. However, if that isn’t possible — in cases when the couple has divorced or the sponsoring spouse has died or become abusive — then Form I-751 can be filed individually or the joint-filing requirement can be waived.

Not sure if you need to file Form I-751? Answer our 5-minute questionnaire to get started.

It’s important to file Form I-751 in a timely manner to avoid complications, such as the immediate loss of permanent resident status. But the right time to file depends on whether you are filing jointly with your sponsoring spouse or filing individually :

If you are still married and filing jointly with your sponsoring spouse

You must file Form I-751 during the 90-day period before the expiration date of your conditional green card.

For instance, if your green card’s expiration date is April 1, 2021, then you can file Form I-751 no earlier than January 1, 2021, or 90 days. You must file no later than April 1, 2021, in order to maintain your green card status .

If you are filing your I-751 by yourself

You can file your I-751 at any time after you receive conditional residence. This could be the case if your marriage ended due to divorce, annulment, or your sponsoring spouse’s death or if you or your children were abused by your spouse.

If your conditional green card has already expired

In some situations, the U.S. government will make an exception and allow you to file the I-751 form even after your conditional green card has expired. You will need to write a letter outlining your reasons for not filing sooner. Generally, requests will only be approved in “extraordinary circumstances” beyond the applicant’s control, and in which the delay was “reasonable.”

There is no guarantee that an I-751 will be accepted if it is filed late, so it’s important to try to meet the deadline.

Form I-751 must be printed out. You can either type your answers and print out the completed form, or print out a blank form and complete it by hand using black ink.

Once the form is completed, you will need to send it to the U.S. government by mail. The address you’ll use depends on which U.S. state you’re in. You can check where to send your completed I-751 here .

The information required to complete Form I-751 is fairly straightforward. Let’s look at each part of the form individually.

PART 1: Information about you

This section asks for basic personal information, such as your name, marital status, and other personal information. Other questions that may not be as obvious:

Alien Registration Number (or “A-Number”) : You can find this number on your green card, where it is labeled “USCIS#”. You can also find this number on your past correspondence with USCIS.

USCIS Online Account Number : This is different from your A-Number. Do not worry about it if you don’t have one. If you have used USCIS online services in the past, you can log in to your account and find your account number on your profile page.

Mailing and physical addresses : You may live at a different address than where you receive mail. If someone other than you accepts mail on your behalf, include their name on line 15.a., where it reads: “In Care Of Name.”

PART 2: Biographic Information

Here you will be asked for details about you, including eye color, height, weight, and ethnicity.

PART 3: Basis for Petition

If you are filing jointly with your spouse or parent, check the appropriate box in “Joint filing”.

If your circumstances mean you cannot file jointly with your spouse, check the appropriate box to explain why your spouse will not file with you. This might include the death of your spouse, spousal abuse, or divorce.

PARTS 4 and 5: Information About Your Spouse and Children

In this section, you will provide basic information about the sponsoring spouse (or parent or guardian) through whom the applicant obtained their green card.

In Part 5 you will do the same for any children you may have. If you do not have children, go straight to Part 6.

PART 6: Accommodations for Individuals with Disabilities and Impairments

In this section, you can make USCIS aware of any disabilities or impairments you might have, and which would require accommodation by U.S. authorities.

PARTS 7 and 8: Applicant and Spouse Acknowledgements and Signatures

In this part, you and your spouse will be asked to verify that all the information contained in the application is correct.

The conditional green card holder is the “petitioner,” and should complete Part 7 and sign and date the form. Their sponsoring spouse, parent, or guardian (if applicable) should then complete and sign in Part 8.

PARTS 9 and 10: Interpreter and Preparer Information

If an interpreter, lawyer, or anyone else helped you to complete the form, they need to give their details in these sections.

When you mail your completed Form I-751, you will also need to include some supporting documentation. You should send:

Copies of the front and back of your current green card, and of the front and back of the green cards of any children included on the I-751.
Evidence that your marriage was entered into in good faith. This could include documents that show you continue to live together, such as mortgage or lease documents; evidence of shared assets, joint bank accounts, or joint tax filings; birth certificates of children born since your marriage; voided checks showing the same address; or even family photographs and sworn affidavits from friends. For further details, check out Boundless’ article on how to prove your marriage is real .
Evidence to support your reasons for not filing jointly (if applicable). This could include your spouse’s death certificate; a finalized divorce decree; or official documentation showing that you or your children suffered domestic abuse.
An explanation for the reason you are filing late (if applicable).
Details of any criminal convictions or charges brought against you since you became a green card holder (if applicable).
If filing while overseas due to military or government service, enclose 2 passport-style photographs, completed Form FD-258 fingerprint cards, and a copy of your current military or government orders. Additionally, write “ACTIVE MILITARY” or “GOVERNMENT ORDERS” on the top of your I-751.

Check the I-751 instructions for full details on the kinds of documentation required for your specific circumstances.

USCIS Fee Hike

The filing fee for Form I-751 could nearly double in the coming months. In January 2023, USCIS proposed a new fee structure, which would increase filing costs for nearly every application type, including removal of conditions. The new fees are not yet in effect, but be sure to visit Boundless’ USCIS fees guide to learn more about the proposal and see what costs you can expect.

The filing fee for Form I-751 is $750. You will also have to pay an $85 biometric fee for yourself, and an additional $85 for each dependent included on your I-751. You can request a fee waiver based on your household income, receipt of means-tested benefits, or financial hardship.

You can pay the fee with a money order, personal check, or cashier’s check. When filing at a USCIS Lockbox facility, you can pay by credit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions .

After you file Form I-751, you will receive a notice in the mail confirming that your Form I-751 has been received. This receipt, also called a Form I-797, can be presented along with your existing green card to extend its validity for up to 18 months beyond the original expiration date. Whenever you need to prove your U.S. residence, you must show both your green card and the receipt.

The processing times for I-751 forms change on a regular basis, and depend on which USCIS office processes your application. Be sure to check for current wait times . Sometimes the wait can be more than 3 years. That means you might not get your full green card before the extended date listed on your I-797 receipt. Don’t worry! Your green card will automatically remain valid until your I-751 petition is decided. You can still live, work, and travel freely just as you did before filing your I-751. If you need proof of residence, you can contact USCIS and request an appointment to get an extension stamped in your passport.

USCIS will review your application and send a request for evidence if parts of your application are missing. That can further delay the process, so make sure your Form I-751 is complete and that you include all the required documentation.

You will then be sent details of your biometrics appointment , including date, time, and location. This is an important appointment, so make sure you don’t miss it.

Finally, you may be required to attend an interview with a USCIS official. This requirement used to be regularly waived if the applicant and their spouse submitted clear evidence of a genuine marriage along with their initial application, but under new guidelines implemented late in 2018, most conditional green card holders do now have to attend an in-person interview.

If USCIS approves your petition, you will receive a notice of approval, followed by a new 10-year green card in the mail. You will need to renew your new green card before it expires.

Conditional residence and U.S. citizenship

Your time as a conditional green card holder usually counts towards the time needed to qualify for U.S. citizenship, so in some cases you may become eligible for naturalization before you receive your updated green card. If that applies to you, you can file a copy of your I-797 receipt along with your N-400 naturalization application and request that USCIS process both applications simultaneously.

Boundless offers unlimited support from our team of immigration experts, so you can apply with confidence and focus on what’s important, your life in the U.S. Learn more.

You can check the status of your Form I-751 by following the steps outlined in our guide . You will need to enter your application number, email address, and name. Once you’ve logged in, select “I-751 Remove Conditions” under “case type.”

If you are concerned that USCIS is taking too long to process your Form I-751, check the processing times for the field office where you filed. In the final column, you will see a date labeled “Receipt date for a case inquiry.” If you filed your application on or before this date, you can contact USCIS to request an update on the status of your case.

Form I-751 processing delays are nothing new. In 2013, a Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Ombudsman report found that a severe lack of training, inconsistent adjudications, and unwarranted removal proceedings were gumming up the works. And according to the CIS Ombudsman 2021 annual report , the inefficiencies and delays have only gotten worse. This is in large part due to the evolving (or devolving) state of interview waiver guidelines.

In 2005, an interoffice memorandum prioritized Requests for Evidence (RFEs), over interviews, to clear up any inconsistencies in I-751 petitions. If, despite new evidence, confusion still prevailed — or if the application seemed fraudulent in any way — the officers were instructed by the memo to schedule an in-person interview.

In 2018, USCIS issued another guidance , to fulfill the mission of Executive Order 13780 — entitled “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States.” That guidance shared much of the same language as the 2005 memo, except for one important addition: all conditional permanent residents (CPRs) who received their approval abroad, and who filed on or after December 10th, 2018, would, by default, have to attend an interview. In effect, interview waivers became the exception rather than the norm.

The new criterion — dubbed the “categorical interview requirement” — caused the number of interviews to skyrocket. Petitions meeting this requirement were effectively funneled to field offices for interviews. According to the 2021 Ombudsman report, “As of December 31, 2020, 58,371 Form I-751 petitions were pending with USCIS that met the categorical interview requirement.”

Perhaps more striking is the fact that, in 2019, 187,000 CPRs received their green card through consular processing. Under the 2018 guidance, all those applicants must attend an interview. In practice, this means severe delays. While USCIS is required by law to issue a decision within 90 days of the interview, they only reach this standard 49% of the time.

What was the reasoning behind the 2018 guidance? The administration intended to weed out the perceived threat of fraudulent applications. But, as it turns out, this threat was more fiction than fact. In 2020, only 1 percent of denials were due to fraud. For more on the 2018 guidance and its effects, read our article on the topic.

In response to the increased delays, USCIS has updated its policies to provide some cushion for applicants in bureaucratic limbo. Petitioners are now permitted to use their receipt notice (Form I-797), with their green card, as proof of residence for up to 24 months after the expiration of their permanent resident card. That’s 6 months more than the original 18-month grace period. Eligible applicants who filed prior to September 4th will receive a new receipt notice with the updated timeline.

You can check the current processing time estimates on the USCIS website . If you’ve been waiting longer than the estimated processing time, you can submit an e-form to inquire about the status of your petition.

There are 3 ways in which your application can be denied:

It has been discovered, within the 2-year conditional period, that the marriage was fraudulent, or “judicially annulled”, or that the applicant has paid a fee for filing another application for immigrant status.
The applicant did not attend their interview or file a joint petition within the appropriate time frame.
The application itself contains false information.

If your application has been denied for one of these reasons, USCIS will send you a Notice to Appear (NTA), and you will be expected to attend removal proceedings at an immigration court. If you would like to argue your case, you will have to submit another I-751 on different grounds . Once you file the new petition, you can submit a motion to continue your removal proceedings while USCIS considers your new application. If the new I-751 is approved, you can file another motion to end the removal proceedings.

If the second Form I-751 is denied, it will be up to the judge to determine whether the decision was sound. Your conditional residence will remain valid until the end of the proceedings.

While it is not required that you submit a cover letter with your application, it can be very useful if you think your case might appear odd to a USCIS officer. You can use the letter to quell any potential concerns the case officer might have when reviewing your submission. This will, in turn, reduce the possibility of further evidence requests. For instance, if you and your spouse live separately , you can write a letter explaining why this is the case.

You can also use the letter to summarize your application, providing a list of contents and a brief explanation of each item on the list. It’s good to keep the letter brief and to the point, and you should be sure to include your name and alien registration number.

There’s no rule governing who should write the letter. You and your partner can decide together who might be best suited to the task. If either of you have experience drafting official letters, then the task should probably fall to that person. No matter who writes the letter, it’s a good idea for both of you (and a third party ) to review the draft several times before submitting. This will help reduce the possibility of errors sneaking their way into your petition.

As mentioned above, Form I-751 has been clogging the proverbial pipeline for sometime now. Ever since the publication of the 2018 memorandum, the number of required interviews has gone through the roof. As a result, the caseload has been distributed across several USCIS offices. According to the 2021 Ombudsman report , all applications meeting the “categorical interview requirement” have been forwarded “directly to the National Benefits Center (NBC) for intake processing and interview scheduling.” And since most CPR applicants are required to attend an interview, a large number of petitions have been sent to NBC.

First of all, it’s important to know that this is not grounds for immediate dismissal of your case . That being said, you should notify USCIS of the divorce as soon as it is final. They might send you an RFE requesting documentary proof that your marriage has ended, in which case you should promptly reply with the requested information. You might want to send the divorce decree with an attached cover letter explaining the situation and requesting that your initial application be changed to a divorce-based waiver petition. Whichever path you take, you should, where possible, include concrete evidence of your attempts to save the marriage — if, for instance, you went to couple’s therapy. You will want to show the case officer that your relationship and the ensuing divorce were authentic. But, in the end, this is not a reason to panic.

What is Form I-751?

Form I-751 , officially called Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence is a USCIS form, which is used to obtain a permanent green card of 10 years.

If you have been married for less than 2 years, at the time of issuance of a green card , the permanent resident card issued to the immigrant spouse will be valid for a period of only 2 years.

This temporary green card is called a ‘ Conditional resident green card ’.

This also applies to children who have been granted U.S. conditional residency based on their parent’s marriage to a U.S. citizen , or a lawful green card holder.

While reviewing your I-751 application , USCIS will have one more opportunity to determine if the marriage is authentic.

The Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence is an 11-paged USCIS form and consists of 11 sections .

Part 1: Information About You, the Conditional Resident

Part 2: biographic information, part 3: basis for petition, part 4: information about the u.s. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, part 5: information about your children.

Part 6: Accommodation for Individuals with Disabilities and Impairments
Part 7: Petitioner’s Statement, Contact Information, Acknowledgment of Appointment at USCIS Application Support Center, Certification, and Signature

Part 8: Information of Individual or Spouse Listed in Part 4 (if applicable)

Part 9: interpreter’s contact information, certification and signature, part 10: information of person preparing this petition, if not the petitioner , part 11: additional information.

In this guide, we will help you to fill out the Form I-751 step-by-step so that you face no delay in the processing of the form.

When to File Form I-751?

It is essential to file for removal of conditional status before the CR-1 (conditional resident green card) expires, otherwise you will be classified as an undocumented immigran t and be subject to deportation.

Form I-751 must be filed 90 days prior to the expiration of the conditional resident card that was valid for 2 years.

If you are filing the petition jointly with your spouse, you must file it during the 90-day period , before your conditional green card expires.
If you are filing the petition on your own, you may file it at any time after you were granted conditional residence.
In case your conditional green card has already expired, you will have to submit a written explanation and request USCIS to excuse the late filing.

You are also permitted to include your children if they were granted conditional residency within a 90 day period that you received this status.

You can file Form I-751 without your spouse too, under certain special conditions. We have discussed it in detail here .

You can check whether you have conditional residence by looking at your green card’s category.

‘ CR1 ’ under the ‘ Category ’ section means that you are a conditional resident.

To determine the exact date your card expires, check the expiration date on your green card.

Form I-751 Filing Fee

Form I-751 filing fee depends on your category

General Filing: $750
Conditional permanent residents, spouse, or child who filed a waiver of the joint filing requirement based on battery or extreme cruelty: $0

How to Fill Out Form I-751 (step-by-step instructions)

You should always use the latest version of any USCIS immigration form to prepare your application, or USCIS will reject it.
The latest version of Form I-751 can be downloaded here .
The petition must be properly signed and filed. USCIS will not accept a stamped or typewritten name in place of a signature.
If you submit a document in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English translation, along with a certification from the translator verifying that the translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language to English.
Submit all the necessary evidence and supporting documentation, at the time of filing according to USCIS instructions.
Submit only legible photocopies of documents requested, unless the instructions specifically state that you must submit an original document.

NOTE: Submit photocopies ONLY.

If you submit original documents when not required or requested by USCIS, your original documents may not be returned to you.

This section mainly asks for basic personal information, like your name, marital status and other details about you.

Answer all questions fully and accurately.

If a question does not apply to you, type or print “N/A”, unless stated otherwise.

While some items are pretty self explanatory, others are not.

Item 7, Alien Registration Number : It is an identification number issued by the immigration authorities. You can find this number on your green card, where it’s labelled as “ USCIS # ”.
Item 9, USCIS Online Account Number: You will have this number only if you ever created an account online for some immigration-related purpose. It is not the same as the Alien Registration Number. Leave it blank, if you don’t have one.
Item 12, Place of Marriage: You will enter the name of the city or state where you were married.

In this section, you will need to provide your biographical information.

Choose the option that most accurately describes your race and ethnicity.

USCIS Categories and Definition for:

Hispanic or Latino : A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.
White : A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
Asian : A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Black or African American : A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.
American Indian or Alaska Native : A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America).
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander : A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

Height: Select the values that best match your height in feet and inches.

Weight: Enter your weight in pounds.

In this section, you need to tell more about the basis on which you are filing the petition.

Check either of the options “ 1.a ” or “ 1.b ”, if you are filing the petition jointly with your spouse or parent, for your permanent residency.
Check any of the other options, if you are filing the petition on your own , checking the appropriate box to explain why your spouse will not file with you.

This section requires basic information about the sponsoring spouse , who helped the immigrant obtain the U.S. conditional permanent resident status .

You can skip this part, if you do not have children.

If you have a child, make sure to check the ‘ yes ’ box in Item 5 .

Doing so, you would not need to file a separate I-751 for your child.

Part 6: Accommodation for Individuals with Disabilities and Impairments

In this section, you can make USCIS aware of any disabilities or impairments you might have and request an accommodation at your interview.

Examples include but are not limited to:

If you are deaf or hard of hearing , USCIS may provide you with a sign-language interpreter at an interview or other immigration benefit-related appointment,
If you are blind or have low vision , USCIS may permit you to take a test orally rather than in writing, or
If you are unable to travel to a designated USCIS location for an interview, USCIS may visit you at your home or a hospital.

Part 7: Petitioner’s Statement, Contact Information, Acknowledgment of Appointment at USCIS Application Support Centre, Certification, and Signature

You are required to provide your contact information in this section.

This will help USCIS to follow up with you, if required.

Indicate if an interpreter helped you to complete this petition.
If applicable, select the box to indicate if someone helped you to prepare this petition for you.
You must also affirm that you have read and understood the Acknowledgement of Appointment at USCIS Application Support Center.
Make sure to properly sign and date your petition and provide your contact details and email address (if any).
A stamped or typewritten name in place of a signature is not acceptable.

Who is the Petitioner in I-751?

The conditional green card holder is the petitioner in Form I-751.

In this section, your immigrant spouse, parent or guardian will need to provide their personal information and sign it.

This section is quite similar to the previous section, except it will be signed by the individual listed in the Part 4 (“Information about the U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident Spouse”) of the petition.

If you have used an interpreter to help you prepare the form, this section must be completed by your interpreter.

The interpreter must also certify that he or she has read the Acknowledgement of Appointment at USCIS Application Support Center in Part 7 to you.

He/she must sign and date the petition.

This section asks for the information and signature of the person who completed your petition, if not you.

If the person helping you prepare your petition is an attorney or accredited representative, he/she must also submit a completed Form G-28 , along with your petition.

This section is for any additional information you want to provide.

You can also make copies of this section, for extra space and file it with your petition.

Note: USCIS recommends you to save a copy of your completed petition to review in the future.

Don’t Forget to Sign Your Form!

Remember, USCIS will reject any unsigned form.

How Long Does it Take Form I-751 to Get Approved?

The actual processing time of Form I-751 could vary depending on the number of applications received and the USCIS office that will process your case.

The processing time could also depend on the accuracy of the information that you have provided.

Submitting an incomplete application can result in longer processing time.

You can find detailed information on the complete processing timeline for Form I-751 here .

You can check the status of your Form I-751 online using this link .

You can also check the processing time for the field office where you filed your form.

Where to Mail Form I-751?

You must mail your completed and signed petition to one of USCIS offices, depending on the state of your residence:

What happens after filing I-751?

After having completed your Form I-751, you will have to file it with the appropriate USCIS office.

After receiving your application, the USCIS will check for its completion.

If you have filed your petition properly, USCIS will mail you a receipt letter.

This receipt letter, formally known as Form I-797C, Notice of Action will extend your conditional residence for an additional 24 months , while USCIS reviews your case.

It is therefore very important to carry the receipt along with your expired conditional green card at all times.

If your Form I-751 has not been properly filed, USCIS may either send you a Notice of Action to reject the petition, or a Request for Evidence , requesting additional documents . This will delay the entire process.

We strongly recommend you to carefully review the I-751 petition and include all the supporting documents with it, to avoid any delays.

The USCIS will then send you a notice for biometrics appointment , to be conducted at your nearest USCIS Application Support Center.

The processing times for Form I-751 change on a regular basis. You can check the current processing time on the USCIS website.

USCIS will inform you about their decision in writing. This decision will be based on determination of whether you have established eligibility for the immigration benefit you seek.

Can I file for citizenship (Form N-400) while I-751 is pending?

Conditional residents with a pending I-751 are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship .

This means that after filing the I-751 petition and before receiving the permanent green card, if you satisfy all the eligibility requirements for naturalization , you can naturalize as a U.S. citizen.

You can apply for U.S. citizenship by filing Form N-400 with USCIS. You must also include your I-751 receipt, along with a cover letter explaining your basis of application.

Conditional green card holders must also note that they can apply for naturalization after three years of residency in the U.S. and living with their U.S. citizen spouses.

Note that conditional residents, who no longer live with their U.S. citizen spouses, due to divorce, annulment, mistreatment or spouse’s death, who file their Form I-751 individually, will be eligible for citizenship only 5 years after becoming a permanent resident.

The processing time for removal of conditional residence can take up to two years, while the naturalization processing time can take up to 12 months.

This means that you may become a U.S. citizen before receiving a permanent green card.

Can I travel after filing I-751? (Within the U.S. and internationally)

The ability to travel both domestically and internationally is always one of the biggest concerns for individuals with pending immigration cases.

Being a conditional resident and waiting on a pending I-751 for obtaining a permanent green card , you can legally travel internationally, without the risk of your status being abandoned, provided you follow a set of rules.

Before departing, you’ll have to make sure that you are carrying the right documents to re-enter the United States.

Travel Documents Required for Applicants With Pending I-751

While waiting for your permanent green card to arrive, it is necessary for a conditional resident to carry these documents at all times:

Valid and unexpired passport
Expired conditional green card
USCIS I-797C, Notice of Action , confirming the receipt of your I-751 Form

Note: Your I-751 Receipt Notice will likely be the only document confirming your legal immigration status once your conditional green card has expired .

Keep a Track of Biometrics Appointment

After receiving your I-797C receipt from the USCIS, you will be scheduled for a biometrics appointment. Sometimes USCIS can reuse the previously submitted biometrics information, so you are not required to attend the appointment.

It is recommended not to travel until you have completed this appointment, or have it collected by someone at your address, if it arrives in your absence.

If it arrives while you are travelling, make sure to request USCIS to reschedule the appointment, as your absence in the appointment may lead to abandonment of your application.

How Long Can You Be Away?

It is recommended to not travel outside the U.S. for over 6 months, while your Form I-751 application is pending.

If the I-751 petition is denied while you are abroad, you may not be able to reenter the U.S. and may be referred to an immigration judge for a removal hearing (deportation).

However, if you must leave the U.S. for a significant time, consider obtaining a Re-entry permit .

This will help you to avoid any problems when the U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers will be admitting you at a port-of-entry, regarding your expired conditional residence.

Generally, you should try to not to travel while your application is pending.

If you nevertheless decide to travel, you must follow all the rules described above.

Does I-751 require an interview?

Since 2005, conditional green card holders didn’t attend an in-person interview for obtaining a permanent green card.

However, after December 2018 , this policy changed and now, there are rare scenarios of waived in-person interviews.

This means, most conditional green card holders will have to attend an interview.

USCIS officers may consider waiving the interview only when all of the following are true:

There is enough evidence to validate and conclude that the marriage is authentic and not conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining a green card.
All the required supporting documents are intact in the Form I-751 , while the complete package indicates neither fraud nor misrepresentation.
USCIS has already interviewed the conditional permanent resident 2 years earlier, as part of the initial marriage green card application .

Note: If you are scheduled for an I-751 interview, you must attend it.

Failure to do so may result in termination of the conditional resident’s status, leading to deportation proceedings.

What happens if my I-751 is denied?

If after filing the I-751 petition , USCIS denies your application, it will mail you a letter explaining the reason for this denial, along with a Notice to Appear (NTA) in the immigration court, for deportation.

You must attend this hearing, as this will serve as another chance for you to appeal your case .

This means you can convince the judge to grant you permanent residence.

Unfortunately, immigrants do not hold the right to directly appeal the USCIS’s denial of Form I-751.

The most common reasons for the denial of your Form I-751 are:

Suspicion of a fraudulent marriage
Insufficient evidence of good faith marriage
Late submission of I-751 form
Holding a criminal record
Absence in the interview

Note that once your Form I-751 is denied, your lawful permanent residency is terminated. This means you will not be allowed to work or travel.

Can I file I-751 before 90 days?

If you are filing your Form I-751 jointly with your U.S. citizen/permanent resident spouse, you must do it during the 90-day period immediately before your conditional green card expires .

On the front side of your conditional green card, you will have two dates, one of them saying ‘ Card Expires ’. You must file your form at any time during the 90 days before this date.

If you file your Form I-751 too early, USCIS will return your application and you will have to refile it. This might delay your application process, affecting your green card approval timeline.

If you file your Form I-751 after your conditional green card expires, you will lose your resident status and can be deported from the U.S.

However, you may file the Form I-751 individually (without your spouse) petition after the expiration of your conditional green card under special conditions, which may originate due to termination of your marriage:

as a result of divorce,
annulment, or
death of your spouse.

Can I File I-751 By Myself?

The Form I-751 must generally be filed jointly with the sponsoring spouse (U.S. citizen/lawful permanent resident).

However, you can file the petition individually (without the U.S. citizen/permanent resident spouse) at any time after receiving the conditional residence, if you have entered the marriage in good faith but:

Your spouse subsequently dies,
Your marriage was later terminated due to divorce or annulment,
You have been subjected to extreme cruelty by your petitioning spouse,
You have been subjected to extreme cruelty by U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident;
The termination of your status and removal from the United States would result in extreme hardship.

I was looking for a sample cover letter for I-751 divorce waiver, but found nothing. Instructions for I-751 say: Page 2 , Evidence of the relationship, middle of the first paragraph: "Submit copies of as many documents as you wish to establish this fact and demonstrate the circumstances of the relationship from the date of the marriage to the present date, and to demonstrate any circumstances surrounding the end of the relationship, if it has ended." It took me more than a week, but I came up with this: I hope this helps someone and I sure hope this 1/2" thick package is good enough for them to approve me. Mailing it tomorrow, maximum Monday.

Looks good. I have to ask though, why did you say you would forward the decree AND name change form? you completed the form in your maiden name correct? the divorce decree will be your name change document so there's no need for a "form".

Yeah, I filed under my maiden name. I didn't know if there is a form or not, so I just said that. I am going to get an info-pass appointment and bring it there anyway, so who cares:)
