Remove Conditions on Your Green Card

The best time to begin is 6 months before your conditional green card expires. While you can only file within the 90-day window before expiration, starting early with Boundless ensures you’ll have plenty of time to gather the right evidence and submit a strong application.

If you were married less than 2 years after obtaining permanent residence through marriage, you likely received a “conditional” green card valid for just 2 years.Before it expires, you’ll need to file Form I-751 (officially called the “Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence”) to receive a “permanent” green card that’s renewable every 10 years. You can learn more about the removal of conditions process in Boundless’ guide.

If you have specific legal questions and would like to consult with an immigration attorney before proceeding with Boundless, you may be interested in Boundless’ Ask My Attorney (AMA) service. AMA is a subscription service where subscribers pay $79 to get 30-minute consultations with Boundless-affiliated independent immigration attorneys. Learn more about Ask My Attorney.

Don’t worry – our service includes full support for responding to any Requests for Evidence (RFEs). Our team will help you understand exactly what USCIS is asking for, guide you in gathering the additional documents, and ensure your response is thorough and submitted on time.

In order to maintain such a high success rate for our customers, every application that is completed through Boundless goes through a rigorous quality assurance process with four different reviews. This includes a thorough review by an experienced Boundless Document Review Specialist to catch any common errors or mistakes before you submit your application to the U.S. government.

While removing conditions requires different evidence than your initial green card, we’ve simplified the process into clear, manageable steps. Many of our customers find it easier than their initial application because we’ve designed our platform specifically for the removal of conditions process. A key difference is that the government focuses on the period after you received your initial green card. Therefore, the evidence you provide must be unique to the past two years and demonstrate the ongoing bona fides of your marriage during that time.
