How to get a Waiver Approval?
To remove conditions on your permanent residence jointly with your spouse, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, together during the 90 days before your 2-year conditional green card expires.
WAIVERS – To get a waiver approval for the removal of conditions on your green card (Form I-751), you must apply for a waiver of the joint filing requirement if you’re no longer married to your U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, or if other exceptional circumstances apply. You can file Form I-751 without your spouse if:
- Divorced or annulled after a good-faith marriage.
- Abused or battered by your spouse or their family.
- Extreme hardship would occur if removed from the U.S.
- 1. Who qualifies?: Confirm you are a conditional permanent resident (2-year green card holder) and are still married to the spouse who sponsored you.
- 2. Gather Supporting Documents: Submit evidence proving your marriage was entered in good faith and is genuine including joint finances, lease, utility bills, photos together, or any other evidence.
- 3. File Form I-751 jointly with your spouse (the one through whom you obtained conditional residence) within the 90-day window before your conditional status expires to avoid losing permanent resident status
- 5. USCIS removes the conditions and you receive your 10-year permanent resident green card.
- 1. Who qualifies?: You may qualify for a waiver if you entered your marriage in good faith but are now divorced, widowed, abused, or would face extreme hardship if removed from the U.S.
- 2. Gather Supporting Documents: Include strong evidence like proof of a genuine marriage, divorce or annulment papers if applicable, records of abuse such as police or medical reports, and documents showing the hardship you would face if removed.
- 3. Prepare Form I-751: File Form I-751, checking the appropriate waiver box.
- 4. Biometrics Appointment and/or Interview: Attend your biometrics appointment when scheduled or interview until you receive a decision.
- 5. USCIS removes the conditions and you receive your 10-year permanent resident green card.
Can I still remove conditions if I am separated or in the middle of a divorce?
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons LGBTQ+ couples choose the K-1 Fiance Visa over a Marriage Visa. Since the marriage must take place in the U.S. (where same-sex marriage is federally recognized) within 90 days of arrival, the legal status of your relationship in your partner’s home country does not disqualify.
What is the "N-400 Shortcut" for pending I-751 applications?
Because I-751 processing times are currently 2–3 years, many people become eligible for U.S. Citizenship (Naturalization) while their “conditions” are still being removed.
Will I have to go through a second interview?
In 2026, USCIS has moved toward a “risk-based” interview model. If your initial application is “front-loaded” with massive amounts of evidence (joint tax returns, birth certificates of children, joint property deeds, and photos spanning the full two years), USCIS has the authority to waive the interview and mail your 10-year card.
