Conditional Residency Attorney in Fairfax, VA

Remove the conditions on your green card and secure your permanent residence. Experienced guidance through the I-751 process.

Securing Your Permanent Status

If you received a green card through marriage and your marriage was less than 2 years old at the time, you received a conditional green card valid for only 2 years. To become a permanent resident, you must file Form I-751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence) within the 90-day window before your card expires.

Ms. Khan handles I-751 petitions for joint filers and for those filing alone — including those who have divorced or whose spouse is unwilling to cooperate, which requires a waiver of the joint filing requirement.

She is particularly experienced in the intersection of I-751 removal of conditions and divorce — a sensitive situation that requires careful coordination of both immigration and family law strategy.

Conditional Residency — Frequently Asked Questions

When must I file my I-751? +
You must file within the 90-day window immediately before your conditional green card’s 2-year expiration date. Filing too early or too late creates serious problems — contact us well in advance.

What if my marriage ended in divorce before I file? +
You can file an I-751 with a waiver of the joint filing requirement based on divorce. The process is more complex and requires evidence that the marriage was bona fide. Ms. Khan handles these waiver cases regularly.

What documents do I need to file a joint I-751? +
Evidence of the ongoing bona fide marriage: joint tax returns, joint bank accounts, joint lease or mortgage, utility bills showing both names, photos together, birth certificates of children, and affidavits from people who know you as a couple.

What happens if I miss the filing window? +
USCIS may initiate removal proceedings. Contact an attorney immediately if you have missed or are close to missing your filing deadline.
