I-751 Removal of Conditions Lawyer in Dallas

Form I-751 is filed by a conditional permanent resident - typically a spouse who married the petitioning U.S. citizen or permanent resident less than two years before receiving their green card - to remove the conditions on their two-year card.

Who Is the I-751 Removal of Conditions For?

Who Qualifies

Joint filers must show the marriage was entered into in good faith and continues in good standing, typically through joint financial records, leases, tax returns, and affidavits. Waiver applicants must instead prove the marriage was bona fide despite its termination, or document the hardship or abuse supporting an individual filing.

How to Apply

Applicants file Form I-751 within the 90 days before their conditional card expires (or at any time for waiver-based filings) along with evidence supporting the joint filing or applicable waiver.

Period of Stay & Processing

Processing typically takes about one to two years, during which the conditional resident's status and evidence of employment/travel authorization are automatically extended upon filing.
