Removal of conditions on residence (I-751 and I-829)

Source-backed checklist for removal of conditions on a conditional green card. Covers Form I-751 (marriage-based conditional permanent residents filing jointly with their spouse or under a statutory waiver for divorce, abuse, or extreme hardship) and Form I-829 (EB-5 investor conditional permanent residents filing to demonstrate the qualifying investment was sustained and the required jobs were created). The checklist covers the form itself, biometrics preparation, a current-passport reminder, and evidence specific to the I-751 joint or waiver route or to the I-829 investment-sustainment and job-creation evidence record.

This date reflects the page copy review, not a live government update.

The date above is editorial review for this page copy. The notice below tracks a separate check of the linked official source, which can be stale even when the page itself was reviewed later.

How this checklist is generated

The document list and follow-up steps below are produced by a deterministic rule set that runs against your answers, the official-source citations listed further down this page, and the post or USCIS form-specific overlay for this combination. The rule set is the same for every supported combination; what changes between combinations is which post supplements, reciprocity tables, and form pages drive it.

No combination on this site has been signed off by an immigration attorney. The "supported" label means the rule set has been verified against current Tier-1 and delegated Tier-2 official sources, not that an attorney has reviewed the resulting checklist for your case. This is informational guidance, not legal advice. Confirm time-sensitive details directly against the cited official sources before filing or travel, and consider an attorney consultation for complex situations.

Answer the case questions first. Results and print only open after the checklist has enough case detail to build them.
