Petition to Remove Conditions on Residency
Navigating life in the U.S. with conditional resident status can be challenging, especially as you approach the transition to permanent residency. There are two ways to submit the I-751 petition to remove conditions:
- Filing Jointly: This is for couples still married and filing together.
- Good Faith Waiver: For individuals who entered the marriage in good faith but are now divorced or facing other exceptional circumstances.
Understanding the I-751 Process
The I-751 petition is a vital step for those who gained their conditional residency through marriage. This process is about more than just paperwork; it's a declaration that your marriage, which was the basis of your initial residency, is genuine and enduring. We know that this can be a deeply personal and sometimes stressful process, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
From the moment you decide to work with us, we focus on making the I-751 process as clear and straightforward as possible.
We’ll help you collect and organize strong evidence that shows the authenticity of your marriage. This includes joint bank accounts, mortgage or rent agreements, photos, and other documents that tell the story of your life together.

Life doesn’t always go as planned. Whether you’re facing the petition alone due to a divorce or have other unique challenges, we handle each case with sensitivity and care. We’re here to adjust the approach to suit your specific needs, ensuring that your application is thorough and compelling.
Successfully removing the conditions on your residence means achieving a greater sense of stability and security—something everyone deserves. We don't just process forms and documents; we listen to your stories, we share your concerns, and we treat your hopes as our own.
The I-751 waiver allows you to request the removal of conditions on your residence without the joint filing requirement if you entered the marriage in good faith, but your circumstances have since changed. This waiver is available for those who are facing the process alone due to circumstances such as divorce, annulment, or the unfortunate death of a spouse.
The key is to demonstrate that the marriage was entered in good faith and not for the purposes of evading immigration laws.
We’ll assist you in gathering all necessary documentation that proves your marriage was genuine and established in good faith. This might include joint financial statements, property leases or purchases, and affidavits from friends and family who were aware of your relationship.
