Representation for Seeking Permanent Green Cards in Marion & Polk Counties, OR and Throughout the Pacific Northwest Since 2009
In U.S. immigration law, “removal of conditions” refers to the process that particular conditional permanent residents must undergo to obtain a permanent green card. This typically applies to individuals who received a conditional green card based on a recent marriage to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
When someone is granted a green card based on a marriage that is less than two years old, they receive a conditional green card. These cards are valid for two years. This conditional status ensures that the marriage is genuine and not entered into solely for immigration benefits.
Our competent legal team at Affordable Immigration can assist with the removal of conditions process. We can oversee the matter so that your application is appropriately completed and supported by substantial evidence. With over 15 years of experience and thousands of immigration matters completed, we are well-versed and equipped to resolve these cases.

Process to Remove Conditions
To transition from a conditional to a permanent green card, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. The process involves demonstrating that the marriage was in good faith through supporting evidence and testimonials.
Form I-751 should be filed 90 days before the conditional green card expires. Failing to file on time may result in losing permanent resident status and potential deportation, highlighting the importance of timely submission.
Typically, the petition is filed jointly by the conditional resident and their U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse. However, exceptions are allowed for individual filings, such as divorce, abuse, or if the spouse has died.
“I was a stranger, and you took me in… then the righteous answered him, saying Lord… when saw we thee a stranger and took thee in?
Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
- Matthew 25:36-40
