Conditional Permanent Residence for Spouses of U.S. Citizens:
Conditional Permanent Residence for Spouses
Where a party obtains an immigrant visa or lawful permanent residence
based upon marriage as either an immediate
relative or a Family 2A beneficiary, and where
the marriage is less than two years old, that individual is granted
"conditional permanent resident" status. This
conditional status lasts for two years from
the date that the person becomes a lawful resident, not two years from the
original marriage date. The person must
petition to remove this status. If the
parties are still married, they can jointly petition to remove this conditional status any time
between the 21st
and 24th monthly anniversary of the grant of
conditional status.
