Obtaining a Green Card and Removing Conditions Through Marriage to a U.S. Citizen: How a Lawyer Ensures Immigration Process Stability

Immigration through marriage to a U.S. citizen is one of the most common, yet legally complex, pathways to permanent residency. Proper documentation, strong evidence of the relationship, and strict adherence to deadlines are crucial for success. Attorney Anna Vasilyev provided full legal support at every stage — from the initial application to the issuance of a 10-year permanent green card.

Case Context
Our client entered into a legal marriage with a U.S. citizen and began the immigration process: first obtaining a conditional green card, and later removing those conditions to receive a permanent green card. The case is notable for its smooth processing without Requests for Evidence (RFE) or delays.

Process Stages and Legal Support

1. Conditional Green Card (CR-1, valid for 2 years)

  • Confirmation of legal marriage to a U.S. citizen
  • Filing Form I-130 (petition by the U.S. citizen spouse)
  • Concurrent filing of Form I-485 (Adjustment of Status)
  • Medical examination by a USCIS-certified physician
  • Collection of evidence of genuine relationship:

Proof of genuine marriage:

  • Photos from shared life: family events, trips, everyday moments
  • Joint bank accounts: statements, transactions, shared budget
  • Joint lease or mortgage: contracts, utility bills
  • Letters from friends and relatives: written statements confirming the relationship
  • Attending USCIS interview and receiving conditional green card

2. Removing Conditions (Form I-751)

Attorney Anna Vasilyev prepared for the removal of conditions well in advance to avoid any risk of missing deadlines:

  1. Gathering updated evidence proving the ongoing and genuine nature of the marriage
  2. Filing Form I-751 90 days before the expiration of the conditional green card
  3. Biometrics appointment and completion
  4. Waiting for the decision and final approval

Additional Actions and Legal Strategy

  • Regular client consultations on USCIS timelines and requirements
  • Timely response to changes in USCIS policy
  • Filing Form AR-11 (change of address) upon client's relocation
  • Preparing the client for a potential interview, including mock sessions

Timeline

  • Conditional green card received in ~6 months
  • Removal of conditions (Form I-751) — completed within 10 months without delays

Frequently Asked Questions

Question

Do I need to file Form I-751 if we divorce before the green card expires?

Answer

Yes, but you must request a waiver and provide evidence that the marriage was bona fide.

Question

What happens if I don't file Form I-751 on time?

Answer

USCIS may revoke your status and initiate deportation proceedings. It is crucial to file on time — within 90 days before the conditional green card expires.

Conclusion

Thanks to Attorney Anna Vasilyev’s clear legal guidance, the client not only obtained a conditional green card without delays but also successfully removed conditions and received a 10-year permanent status. This case highlights the importance of documentation and strict timing in immigration matters.
