Learn About a Conditional Permanent Residence

January 05, 2012

A conditional permanent resident receives a green card valid for two years. In order to remain a permanent resident, a conditional permanent resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed.  The conditions must be removed or your permanent resident status will be lost.

To remove conditions on a green card based on marriage, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence. Applicants must file this form at the USCIS California Service Center or the USCIS Vermont Service Center, depending on where they live.

To remove conditions on green card for entrepreneurs, you must file Form I-829, Petition by Entrepreneur to Remove Conditions. Applicants must submit this form at the USCIS California Service Center.
