What is a Conditional Resident?
A person being granted Permanent Resident status who is the spouse of a U.S. citizen when the marriage has been for less than 2 years, USCIS places a condition on the person’s permanent residence for 2 years. During the ninety days preceding the expiration, both the alien and the U.S. spouse must petition USCIS to remove the condition.
