What is I-751?
USCIS Form I-751 is the petition a conditional permanent resident (CPR) files to convert their 2-year green card to a 10-year permanent green card. Conditional residence applies when the underlying immigrant visa was based on a marriage less than 2 years old at the time the green card was approved. The CPR (and usually the spouse) must file I-751 jointly to remove the conditions; if the marriage ended, the CPR was abused, or removal would cause extreme hardship, the CPR can file a waiver request alone. The basis for the petition (Part 3) is the most consequential field on the form; pick the wrong basis and USCIS denies the petition or returns it for the right basis. File during the 90 days BEFORE the second anniversary of the conditional residence date (the date your CPR card expires).
What happens if you miss the deadline: Late joint-filing without a good reason results in CPR status terminating automatically; the CPR may then be placed in removal proceedings. USCIS may accept a late filing with written explanation showing the delay was for good cause and beyond the petitioner's control. Waiver filers (deceased spouse, divorce, abuse, extreme hardship) are not subject to the 90-day window.
How to file
- Filing fee
- USCIS April 2024 fees, in effect 2026: $750 paper plus $30 biometrics where applicable. Joint filers and most waiver filers pay the standard fee. Battered-spouse / battered-child waivers (1.e / 1.f) and some VAWA-related petitions may be eligible for fee waiver via I-912 on extreme-hardship grounds. Always check uscis.gov/feecalculator before mailing; fees change annually.
- Filing method
- mail (USCIS lockbox), online (my.uscis.gov)
- Filing deadline
- Joint filers (basis 1.a / 1.b): must file during the 90-day window BEFORE the second anniversary of conditional residence (the date the CPR card expires). Filing earlier than 90 days before is rejected; filing late is sometimes accepted with a written explanation showing the delay was for good cause and beyond the petitioner's control. Waiver filers (1.c deceased spouse / 1.d good-faith divorce / 1.e battery / 1.f parent's spouse battery / 1.g extreme hardship): can file at any time during conditional residence, including before or after the 90-day window.
