I-751 Waiver
Self-Petition For Green Card
Under the Marriage Fraud Amendments of 1986, a conditional green card holder must ordinarily file a joint petition with his/her U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident spouse to remove the conditions no earlier than 90 days before the second anniversary of permanent residence. Due to a number of circumstances, this may not always be possible. Fortunately, the law does recognize limited exceptions to the joint petition.
A conditional permanent resident may file an I-751 petition individually through a request of a waiver of the joint requirement. A waiver may be filed under one or more of the following conditions:
- The couple entered into the marriage in good faith, but the marriage was terminated by divorce/death of the U.S. Citizen/LPR Spouse;
- The applicant entered into the marriage in good faith, and that he/she was subjected to physical battery or extreme cruelty by the petitioning spouse;
- The termination of your status and removal would result in extreme hardship.
