Conditional permanent residence is a kind of Green Card. Unlike a regular Green Card, which permits you to legally stay in the United States indefinitely, conditional permanent residence status only lasts for two years, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Also unlike a regular Green Card, conditional permanent residence is not renewable. As the two-year deadline approaches, you must remove the restrictions on your status and receive a regular Green Card. If you do not do so, you can be deported.
The associated attorneys at the Fresh Start Immigration Law can help you remove conditions based on entrepreneurship or based on marriage. That means we can:
The main difference between conditional permanent residents and Green Card holders is that Green Cards offer a more long-term sense of stability. Once the conditions are removed, you no longer have to worry about being deported so easily.
Your Green Card will remain valid for 10 years, after which our associated conditional permanent residence attorneys can help you renew it.
The immigration system is very complicated. It can take a long time to figure out how to do what you want to do and receive a response from the system. If you do something wrong, even if it was a minor and accidental mistake, you could end up waiting even longer to get what you want.
Conditional permanent residents do not have time to waste. If you want to protect your status and gain a regular Green Card, you can rely on the Fresh Start Immigration Law to:
Fresh Start Immigration Law understands the inner workings of the immigration system and is prepared to address client questions like the following:
Yes. According to 8 CFR § 1216.1, if you meet all of the other requirements for citizenship, a conditional permanent resident is allowed to apply for naturalization.
Yes, permanent residents can file an I-130 so that their relative can achieve legal status. If you would like help filling out this form, our associates would be happy to assist.
No. You have to become a U.S. citizen before you can sponsor your parent for a Green Card.
That depends on how old the child is and their marital status. If the child is unmarried and under 21, permanent residents are allowed to petition for them to obtain a Green Card. Conditional permanent residents can also petition unmarried sons and daughters over the age of 21.
Our associated attorneys can explain more about who can petition which relatives.
If your status is based on marriage, getting divorced can affect how you apply to remove the conditions on your residency status. You may have to use different forms and send a copy of your divorce papers to USCIS. The associated permanent residence lawyers with the Fresh Start Immigration Law can help you figure out what to do.
No. As stated before, conditional permanent residency status is not renewable. You will have to either remove the conditions before the two-year period is up or risk deportation. Our associated legal team can help you achieve lawful permanent resident status.
Yes, you are allowed to travel, but you should be very careful when you do so. Staying outside of the United States for too long or forgetting critical documentation, such as a re-entry permit, can jeopardize your plans to obtain a Green Card, or you might not be allowed back into the country at all.
Yes, you are a conditional permanent resident and are entitled to many of the same rights and privileges as those who hold regular Green Cards. However, permanent residents can stay in the United States indefinitely without making changes to their status.
As a conditional permanent resident, you have only two years to remove the conditions and receive a Green Card. The Fresh Start Immigration Law wants to make this process as straightforward as possible by supporting you and your family as you seek to adjust your status.
