Is lifting conditions just a formality?

[Kajikit 65]

Assuming you're still married to your partner and you have no intention of getting divorced... is there any other reason why they might refuse to lift the conditions on your greencard and give you a 10-year one?

What about if you had an accident and were in a wheelchair, or if you got cancer or your partner lost their job or you went bankrupt?

I'm just wondering what if anything I still have to worry about for the next few years...

If in the opinion of the adjudicator, the marriage was entered into for the purposes of circumventing US immigration laws. That is the only reason that the I-751 can be denied. All the issues that you mentioned do not matter a lick...

Hunger, world peace, the fate of cats in Greece.. lots of things you can worry about over the next few years.

Just not the I-751.

I think you still need to prove that you are in a valid relationship. They will interview you again!

You do have to prove that you're still in a valid marriage. An interview is not guaranteed; we were not interviewed.

Actually, if a joint I-751 is filed, this technically *could* be somewhat true. Parties that file jointly, would need to still be together at adjudication time, otherwise other procedures come into play. Other than that, should an interview be called, an alien, whether still married or not, would only have to prove that they *were* in a valid relationship at the point of marriage. (In the case of a divorced alien, the I-751 that would be subject to adjudication would be a waiver of the normal joint filed I-751.)

I'm not worried about our relationship... I was wondering if the medical requirements etc that you had to fulfill to get the visa and again for the conditional greencard still come into play. Sounds like they don't. (whew!)
