When USCIS approves a green card based on a marriage, but the couple has not yet been married for two years, USCIS grants a temporary or “conditional residence” to the immigrant spouse. The immigrant’s status and green card are only valid for two years. The couple must file another application, Form I-751, before the card expires to remove the conditions on the spouse’s residence. USCIS recently announced that they will extend the validity of a conditional green card for four years when they receive an I-751 application. While this policy may save conditional residents the hassle of requesting ongoing proof of their status, it also signals that USCIS processing times are not likely to improve anytime soon.
