Residency is conditional for a person who obtains residency or a “green card” through marriage when they have been married for less than two years.
To remove the condition and obtain permanent residency, both spouses must submit a “removal of conditions” application during the 90 days before the conditional green card expires.
For Example:
The marriage ended due to divorce or annulment, even though they entered into the marriage in good faith
The conditional resident and/or children have been victims of spousal abuse or domestic violence
Death of the spouse.
In these circumstances, the conditional resident may apply for a waiver or “forgiveness” of the joint filing requirement. This process can be complex and challenging.
