Whether you are filing a joint petition with your spouse or requesting a waiver of the joint filing requirement, Bountiful Law provides personalized legal guidance throughout every stage of your case.
What Is Form I-751?
Individuals who receive permanent resident status through a qualifying marriage that is less than two years old at the time permanent residence is granted generally receive a conditional green card that is valid for two years. To become a permanent resident without conditions, most applicants must file Form I-751 during the required filing period before their conditional residence expires. USCIS generally requires a jointly filed petition with the petitioning spouse unless the applicant qualifies for a waiver.
Failure to timely file the petition or provide sufficient supporting evidence may place an individual’s permanent resident status at risk.

Building a Strong Petition
One of the most important aspects of an I-751 petition is demonstrating that the marriage was entered into in good faith and not solely for immigration purposes. Supporting evidence may include financial records, joint tax returns, insurance policies, photographs, children’s birth certificates, leases or mortgage documents, and other records showing a shared life together.
Jennie L. Amante works closely with clients to organize supporting documentation and prepare a thorough petition designed to satisfy USCIS requirements.
Waivers of the Joint Filing Requirement
Not every conditional permanent resident is able to file jointly with a spouse. Federal immigration law provides certain waivers that may allow an individual to file Form I-751 independently in qualifying circumstances, such as divorce, battery or extreme cruelty, or situations involving extreme hardship. Each waiver has specific legal requirements and supporting evidence that must be carefully presented.
Bountiful Law helps clients evaluate their eligibility for a waiver and prepares applications that accurately present the facts of each case.
