Did you know there are different types of Green Cards? Today, we're discussing conditional Green Cards. These are issued to spouses of US citizens who have been married for less than two years when the Green Card application is approved.
Here's the key point: A conditional Green Card is only valid for two years. Before it expires, you'll need to file a petition to remove the conditions on your residency. This is done through Form I-751, filed with USCIS.
What if you can't file jointly with your spouse?
There are situations where filing jointly isn't possible. Maybe your spouse passed away, you got divorced, or you experienced abuse. Don't worry, you can still apply!
??You can request a waiver by filing Form I-751 with a detailed explanation and significant proof of your bona fide (good faith) marriage. This will involve documentation like joint tax returns, photos, and affidavits.

The takeaway: Obtaining a Green Card through marriage can be a complex process, especially with conditional Green Cards.
