If the spouse or child of a U.S. Citizen is granted Permanent Resident Status (“Green Card”) less than 2 years after the marriage, the Permanent Resident Card is “conditional.” The initial card is granted for two years at which point the spouse and/or child must file an I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence with USCIS. The attorneys at Aust Schmiechen are experienced in preparing and filing I-751’s with USCIS in both joint and waiver cases (not being filed jointly by the couple).
