Divorce after conditional green card is not an uncommon situation. Many people mistakenly believe that you will automatically lose your green card and be deported, after a divorce. This is not true. A conditional green card is a two-year green card that a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse receives, if the marriage is less than two years on the date that the application is approved. Although many marriages end before it is time to file an I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions, your immigration case is not over.
Within ninety (90) days before your two-year green card expires, you and your spouse are legally required to file a joint petition to remove conditions on your residence. For some couples, this is not an issue because they are still together and are enjoying married life. Both are able to sign and file the petition with supporting evidence. Other immigrants may not be so fortunate and may be alone when the time comes to remove the conditions.
