Apply for Marriage Based Green Card
If you're married to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, you can apply for a marriage-based green card to live and work in the U.S.
The process typically involves filing Form I-130 and Form I-485 (if you’re in the U.S.). You will need proof of marriage, additional documentation, and may be required to attend an interview.
Form I-751: Remove Condition on Residence
For individuals with a conditional green card from marriage, file Form I-751 to remove the conditions and obtain a 10-year permanent residency.
The I-751 form is a request to remove the conditions on your U.S. permanent residency. This form is mainly for people who received a conditional green card due to marriage.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Who Needs to File: If you have a conditional green card (valid for two years), you must file this form.
- When to File: You should submit this form during the 90 days before your card expires.
- If Your Marriage Has Ended: You may file with a waiver if your marriage has ended.
Renew or Replace Permanent Green Card
Use Form I-90 to renew or replace your Green Card if it’s expiring, lost, or damaged.
Form I-90 is used to renew or replace your Green Card. It's important to file before your card expires to maintain proof of lawful permanent resident status.
Apply for US Citizenship
If you meet the eligibility requirements, file Form N-400 to begin the process to become a U.S. citizen.
The naturalization process involves filing Form N-400, passing an English and civics test, and attending an interview at a USCIS office.
