Special Note : If the failure to file Form I-751 wasn’t your fault, you may file your petition late with a written explanation and ask USCIS to excuse the lateness.įailure to file before your conditional resident status expires may be excused if you show that the delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control and that the length of the delay was reasonable. ![]() If you fail to file Form I-751, you will automatically lose your permanent resident status two years from the date it was granted, and USCIS will begin deportation proceedings to remove you from the United States. If your spouse is deceased, or if you are divorced, or if you and/or your conditional resident child were battered or subjected to extreme cruelty, you may file Form I-751 at any time after you are granted conditional resident status and before the expiration date listed on your conditional permanent resident card. If you are jointly filing Form I-751 with your spouse, you must immediately file this form during the 90 days before your conditional residence expires. ONLY file Form I-751 if you need to change your conditional permanent resident green card (with a two-year expiration date) into a permanent resident green card (with a ten-year expiration date). If you need to file Form I-90 to replace or renew your permanent resident card, you do not have to file Form I-751. If you already have a permanent resident green card that expires after ten years, you do not have to file Form I-751. ![]()
