Immigrant Visas

Conditional Residents

Applicants who qualify for a visa on the basis of a marriage which was entered into less than two years prior to the date on which he/she is admitted into the United States as an immigrant, or in the case of a fiancé (e) visa holder completes an application for an adjustment of status, will be granted conditional resident status for two year period. Ninety days before the two year anniversary of being granted conditional resident status, both the petitioner and conditional resident will be required to file a petition, Form I-751, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to have the conditional resident status removed.

Questions concerning conditional status should be addressed to USCIS.
