You need to file Form I-751, if you meet these criteria.

Who qualifies

You received a 2-year conditional green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen or green card holder.

2-Year CardGreen card through marriage.
90-Day WindowWithin 90 days of expiry.
Still MarriedMarried to the same spouse.
  • Your conditional card must be within 90 days of expiring, or already expired.
  • You're still married to, and living with, the same spouse who originally sponsored your green card.
  • You and your spouse are filing together — this service covers joint filing only.
  • If you're divorced, widowed, or filing without your spouse's participation, you'd need a waiver of the joint filing requirement — this is a service we don't currently handle.

Divorce certificate (if any)
Proof of your spouse's U.S. citizenship
Evidence of the ongoing marital relationship — joint tax returns, joint lease or mortgage, joint bank accounts, etc.
