Question:
I have a H-1B visa and I am
in the process of planning to marry a U.S. citizen. After the marriage,
my husband will apply for the Green Card for me. I want to know what is
the conditional Green Card? and is there any issue I need to know?
Answer:
If you have been married
less than two years when you are granted lawful permanent resident
status, you will receive permanent resident status on a conditional
basis. You and your husband must apply together to remove the
conditions on residence.
You must apply to remove conditional status within 90 days before the
2-year anniversary of the award date of your conditional legal
permanent resident status. If you fail to file during this time, you
will be considered out of status as of the 2-year anniversary, and may
be subject to removal from the U.S.
