When a person (who is the foreign spouse of a U.S. citizen) has been married less than 2 years following the issuance of a green card, it is imperative to file a Removal on the Conditions of Permanent Residence on Form I-751. There are situations where the person might forget to file in a timely manner, and if so, please let our law firm know that you have let this important deadline pass because normally a filing has be submitted within the 90 day window preceding the end of the 2-years from the date your green card was granted.
U.S. CIS is working with Petitioner’s who co-file late but they are not required to approve such cases and you may find yourself having to re-file an entire green card application again. Such refiling for the spouse of a U.S. citizen is not ideal but we can also handle this refiling if necessary.
The I-751 filing requires a robust demonstration of evidence showing that the marriage is still viable. To help you prove the realness of the marriage, called the bona fides of the marriage, we provide you with a list of documents preferred by USCIS and then we collate the evidence to ensure that you are presenting your best case possible.
There is a similar responsibility, filed on a Form I-829, for people to file a Removal of Conditions on the green card if one obtained their U.S. permanent residence based on an EB-5 Petition which is an Investor visa. In such a circumstance, let our law firm determine the evidence needed to ensure that the government has found your case to meet the requirements for ongoing investment in the enterprise until the proper date.
Proper filing is crucial, as failing to file or having the petition denied could lead to removal proceedings.
