Conditional Residents Applying for Citizenship

Conditional Residents Applying for Citizenship

USCIS issues green cards that are valid for two years to lawful permanent residents who received their green card through a U.S. citizen spouse they recently married. Conditional residents must petition to remove the “conditions” on their green card to get a green card that is valid for 10 years.

If you are a conditional resident, you must file a joint I-751 or a I-751 waiver before you can apply for citizenship.
– We do not assist with I-751 applications.
– For help with a I-751 application, try calling these organizations:
Rian Immigrant Center: (617) 542-7654
Catholic Charities of Boston: (617) 464-8500

Conditional residents may apply for citizenship if an I-751 application is pending.

Did you file a joint I-751 or a I-751 waiver and are waiting for a decision from USCIS?
If you are waiting for a decision, we cannot represent you in your pending I-751 application. You will need to appear for any I-751 interview(s) and respond to any I-751 notice(s) without our assistance or legal advice.

We can help you complete and submit a citizenship application. We will track any citizenship case notices after you apply.

Your citizenship application cannot be approved until your I-751 has been approved.

If you apply for citizenship before a decision is made on your I-751, you may be scheduled for an I-751 interview or issued a continuance on your I-751.

If your I-751 application is denied, the government will issue you a Notice to Appear in removal proceedings at immigration court where you can renew your I-751 application in front of an immigration judge. We cannot represent you in any immigration court proceedings.
