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

If you are a permanent resident in Tennessee, you may be eligible to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status. This is commonly known as the “conditional permanent resident” status. To apply to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, during the 90 days before your conditional permanent residency expires. In addition to the Form I-751, you must also provide evidence that you entered into a valid marriage in good faith, such as birth certificates, proof of joint assets and debts, and evidence of a continuing relationship. If you are unable to file the Form I-751 with your spouse, for example if your marriage has been terminated, you may still be able to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status. You will need to provide documentation that can establish that you entered into the marriage in good faith. You may also need to provide documentary evidence that extreme hardship would occur if the conditions were not removed. You must also submit a $595 filing fee, and $85 biometric services fee. For more information, contact a Tennessee immigration attorney or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Your immigration attorney can also advise you on whether or not you are eligible to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status and help you to prepare your I-751 petition.

Para remover las condiciones en su estatus de residente permanente en Tennessee, primero debe calificar para la exención. Esta exención solo está disponible para aquellos que se casaron con un ciudadano o un residente permanente de Estados Unidos al momento de la aplicación de su green card y se hayan mantenido casados hasta que la green card fue otorgada. Si usted cumple con estos requisitos, entonces tendrá que presentar una Solicitud de Exención de Condiciones Familiares (Formulario I-751) antes de que su estatus de residente permanente expire. Esta solicitud debe presentarse dentro de los 90 días previos a la expiración de su estatus de residente permanente. Además de la solicitud, tendrás que presentar pruebas para demostrar que has mantenido tu matrimonio con tu cónyuge. Esto puede incluir facturas, archivos de impuestos, correos electrónicos y cartas con la fecha que resaltan la continua relación entre ti y tu cónyuge. Si usted vive en Tennessee, también deberá presentar una copia de la licencia de matrimonio. Una vez que la USCIS revisé toda la documentación, ellos proveerán una decisión dentro de los 90 días de la presentación de la solicitud o le otorgarán una entrevista. Si su solicitud es aceptada, entonces se le otorgará la exención y se removerán las condiciones de su residencia. Si su solicitud fue rechazada, entonces tendrá que recurrir la decisión legalmente.
