The conditions on a two-year green card must be removed within 90 days of its expiration date. This process involves either a joint removal of conditions with your spouse or a waiver removal of conditions if you are no longer with your spouse or experiencing problems.
The joint removal of conditions involves filing Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, with your spouse. Both you and your spouse must sign the form and provide evidence that you are still in a bona fide marriage. This can include joint bank account statements, leases or mortgages in both your names, and photographs together.
However, not all marriages last forever, and sometimes circumstances change. If you are no longer with your spouse or your spouse has passed away, you can file for a waiver removal of conditions. This involves filing Form I-751 with evidence that your marriage was entered into in good faith, but ended in divorce or annulment, or that you and your spouse experienced extreme hardship during your marriage.
