I have a 2 year green card and removal of conditions are pending.   Any issue with my husband responding to this census letter and adding my information?(it's a questionnaire that needs to be filled online)Wasn't sure if me being conditional green card holder makes a difference. Anyone familiar?

Census?   The next US census is not until 2030.   I’d be wary about filling out forms claiming to be from the census.   And the 2020 census was definitely still conducted via paper forms.

The census agency does sent out some surveys during non census years. On their website they have a way to verify it is from them. It’s always good to be careful when you get a letter but if you use the official site you would be fine. 
 

To your question, he can add your information if it requires it. The census is for everyone living there not just citizens. When the last actual census, I had to add my spouses information and he didn’t have his green card yet his was still waiting for the adjustment of status. You don’t have to worry about that part.

I think it is required.  I did one of those a couple years ago.  No problem at all since it won't state that you are a US citizen.

I just got one of those too.  They ask for some pretty detailed information!  I did some research and it is legit.  Apparently legally you have to answer it, but there aren't really any penalties for not doing it 

On J visas.  Spouse won DV lottery while in US.  Did AOS from the US.

is it a government website? If unsure call your town hall and ask someone there. If its legit yes you can fill it out. My town does one yearly but its mailed and I just add or delete names of people in my household. They ask about my dog too.

That is not part of the United States census.
