lifting condition

[evalili 10]

I have read from other posts that, after I have entered the states with the Immigration Visa, that we have to get the conditions lifted, so what is it about? Assuming that I have gotten a green card after entering the States, what is it that I have to do?

Yes. Check out the forms and requirements at USCIS.gov/forms and click on I-751. Good luck!

hi

yes, but not now, if you have received or will receive a 2 year GC because the marriage is less than 2 years

then you will need to remove conditions max, 90 days before the card expires

so the removal of conditions is in 2 years, not now

I have been married to my USC husband for 4 years. would that make a difference? I have no idea what this lifting condition is about, and I have no problem filling out a form. I'm just wondering what it is.

hi

if you got a 10 year GC because you are married over 2 years, then removing conditions doesn't apply to you

only those who got a 2 year GC because they were married less than 2 years

What is the expiration date on your Green Card?

ok, thanks!

I don't have a green card yet. I was just asking ahead of time.

When does your green card expire?

When does your green card expire?

This was asked and answered.

When you finally do get your IR-1 Visa (which is the one you will get when the process is over, because you've been married to your U.S. spouse for more than 2 years), you will receive a 10-year green card, and you won't need to "Remove Conditions."

You'll have to renew the 10-year green card every 10 years.

Thank you! So that means I can apply for US Citizenship after 3 years if I'm still married to him, or 5 years if we divorce before the 3 years.

Yes, you can apply for U.S. Citizenship when you've been in the U.S. for 3 years (if you're still married to him). You can apply for naturalization within 90 days before the 3-year anniversary of your entrance into the U.S.

If you divorce, you will have to wait 5 years (minus 90 days) before you can apply.

Naturalization?? I can apply for it after date of entry, right?? What does it do??
