How do I remove the conditions on my permanent resident status?

In Massachusetts, if you are a permanent resident and you obtained it through family immigration law, there are certain conditions that must be removed in order to keep your permanent status. To remove the conditions on your permanent resident status, you must file a form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. The form must be filed within 90 days before the expiration date of your conditional resident status. You must submit documents to prove the validity of your marriage, including evidence of cohabitation, any joint tax returns, and joint bank accounts. You need to submit the form along with a filing fee and copies of any documents that prove your current marital status. If the conditions are not removed, your permanent resident status will be terminated and you may be subject to removal from the United States. Once the form is filed, you must attend an interview at a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) office. You should bring original documents to the interview to prove the validity of your relationship. If USCIS approves your petition, they will mail you a new Permanent Resident Card without conditions. If your petition is denied, you will receive a Notice of Intent to Deny and an opportunity to respond.

Para remover las condiciones de su estatus de residente permanente, primero debe presentar el formulario I-751, Petición para Eliminar la Condición al Estatus de Residencia. Esta solicitud debe presentarse durante los noventa días antes de la fecha de vencimiento de su tarjeta de residente permanente. La solicitud debe enviarse a la oficina o centro de los Servicios de Ciudadanía e Inmigración (USCIS) de Massachusetts. Debe adjuntar ciertos documentos con su formulario I-751. Estos incluyen documentos para demostrar que su matrimonio fue legalmente reconocido, documentos que muestren que mantuvo el contacto con su cónyuge durante su matrimonio, documentos que demuestren que su matrimonio fue por amor y no para obtener el estatus de residente permanente, cartas de referencias de amigos / familiares y cualquier otra información relacionada con su matrimonio. Si su cónyuge ya falleció o si está siendo víctima de violencia doméstica, recibirá la exención de la eliminación de condiciones de estatus de residente permanente. En esos casos, debe presentar un formulario I-751 con una solicitud de exención en lugar de adjuntar los documentos anteriores. Si se le acepta la exención, recibirá una tarjeta de residente permanente sin condiciones por dos años.
