Is your green card only valid for two years? That means you have conditional lawful permanent status in the United States. Within the 90 day period prior to the expiration of your card, you will need to submit an application to remove the conditions on your residency, otherwise, your status will be terminated. There are several exceptions where one can file after the two year period; however, curing this issue depends on the facts of each and every case.

Conditional status is granted to a person who is married to a U.S. citizen, but whose marriage was less than two years old at the time that lawful permanent residency was granted. It is also granted to a child whose step-parent is a U.S. citizen and the marriage between the parent and step-parent is less than two years old. Conditional status provides the Department of Homeland Security an additional opportunity to determine that the marriage is real, and not solely for immigration purposes. (see marriage fraud)

If you (or your parents) are still married, you and your U.S. citizen spouse will file the application together. If you are either separated from or divorced from your spouse, you will need to apply based upon one of the following grounds:

Your spouse has passed away
You married in good faith (meaning not for immigration purposes), but the marriage has already ended due to divorce or annulment
You married in good faith, but you were abused by your spouse
You are a child, and you were abused by your U.S. citizen step-parent
If you were forced to leave the United States, you would suffer extreme hardship

I came to Justin Burton and his associates after waiting for years on my case which been pending, I thought I will wait forever more according to my old attorney… I came for opinion of another attorney (J.Burton) to see if anything could be done to speed my case and turns out 3 years ago if I met Justin I would have had my green card already. He not only speed up my case to months of waiting from years or waiting but also I didn’t need to fly anywhere to get my visa… I am forever thankful to him…

I would like to highly recommend this law firm. My case was handled by Attorney -BRITTNI RIVERA, for me Attorney BRITTNI RIVERA is a SUPERSTAR, when it comes to immigration law. I will not go into details but I will just say this, my case was not a typical case where you only need to know how to fill out USCIS forms, my case was complicated because a few years ago I did something stupid, which made my case even more difficult. Several other lawyers whom I consulted during my case with -KRIEZELMAN&BURTON LAW FIRM, told me that my chances…

I highly recommend Matthew from Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC to get solutions to all immigration related issues. I recommend him, after my five years of association with him. Before meeting Matthew, I had approached three senior immigration lawyers, to resolve my VISA conversion issue (from L2 to F1). All 3 lawyers could not provide any solution to my problem. After this, I met Matthew. He carefully analyzed my issue and immediately suggested a solution. He sounded very confident about his solution and so, I decided to follow his advice. Within a month, my VISA issue was resolved. Next, I…
