Last verified: April 2026 | District Court of MD for Baltimore City | USCIS Policy Manual
The Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C.) establishes conditional permanent residency for spouses who obtain a green card through marriage less than two years old. The I-751 petition must be filed jointly with your spouse within the 90-day window before your conditional status expires. If you cannot file jointly due to divorce, abuse, or hardship, you may seek a waiver. Failure to file can lead to the termination of your status and removal proceedings.
