An I-751 Form is referred to as a "Petition to Remove Conditions of Residence." If you are currently a U.S. conditional resident based on either you or your parent's marriage to a U.S. citizen, your status as a conditional resident lasts only two years. Near the end of these two years, you must use Form I-751 to ask U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to remove the conditions and make you a permanent resident (with a regular green card).

Filling out Form I-751 isn't too difficult by itself. But it's important to attach adequate documents to support your Form I-751.

Some of these documents are fairly standard, but in other cases, you'll need to pick and choose which types of documents will best support your claim for permanent residence.

Additional Documents Required for Form I-751

Along with the I-751 Form, you'll need to submit the following documents to USCIS:

• A copy, front and back, of your green card
• Proof of a good-faith marriage
• If you're requesting a waiver of the joint filing requirement, provide documents supporting your request
• If you have undergone a legal name change, the court order indicating the change.
• If you have a criminal or drug history, documents explaining what happened.
• Extensive proof of joint financial and co-mingled assets

If any of your documents are in a foreign language, you must submit a word-for-word, full English translation along with them.
