Form I-751

Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence

Where this fits

This is a separate later-stage petition for someone who received conditional permanent residence through the marriage-based process. A person may have started through a K-1 petition or an I-130 spouse petition; this is a new filing only if conditional residence and the I-751 rules apply.

What this guided workflow includes

The routine joint path includes the official 90-day filing-window calculation, a separate encrypted complete guided questionnaire, optional I-130/I-130A or Form I-485 carry-forward, expandable evidence guidance, proofread checks, and client-side generation of the official 04/01/24 Form I-751.

Waiver or individual filings, late filings, removal proceedings, criminal-history cases, and separately filing children route to review. Always confirm the current fee and filing location directly with USCIS.

Official-instruction screening

This screening stays temporarily in your browser and is copied into the encrypted case only if you create one.

Did you obtain conditional permanent resident status through marriage? Choose Yes only if you got a 2-year green card through marriage. Do not use Form I-751 for a regular 10-year green card or an investor-based 2-year green card.Do you have a United States mailing address for this filing? Choose Yes if you have a U.S. mailing address for this filing. Choose No if you do not. A person outside the United States may still file, but special return and interview rules may apply.What is the legal filing basis for this petition?Choose the reason you are filing, such as filing together with your spouse or asking for a waiver. This is different from choosing online or paper filing. Ask for review if the screen mixes these choices.Conditional residence expiration date Enter the end date printed on the 2-year green card. A normal joint I-751 is filed during the 90 days before the 2-year status ends. Ask for review if the dates do not match.Are you in removal, deportation, or rescission proceedings? Choose Yes if you are now in removal, deportation, or rescission proceedings. Do not choose No just because the case is not finished. Get legal review.Have you ever been arrested, detained, charged, indicted, fined, or imprisoned for breaking or violating any law or ordinance (excluding traffic regulations), or committed any crime for which you were not arrested, in the United States or abroad? Answer Yes if any listed event ever happened. This includes an arrest, detention, charge, fine, jail time, or a crime without an arrest. Include old, dismissed, and minor cases.Is any child being included who obtained conditional residence more than 90 days after you? Answer Yes if the child got a 2-year green card more than 90 days after the parent. The child will usually need a separate I-751.
