To remove the conditions on residence, you and your spouse must apply together using Form I751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence. If you are an immediate relative of a US citizen, you can become a lawful permanent resident (get a Green Card) based on your family relationship.Step 1: Submit Form I130. You must file an I-130 form (Petition for Alien Relative) along with two passport-time pictures of the spouse and filled-out Form I-130A for the spouse. The IR1 visa is available for spouses who have been married for at least two years when they apply. This step establishes the foundational relationship between the U.S. citizen or Green Card holder and the immigrant spouse. The K visa enables you to enter the United States to get married. The U.S. citizen fiancé or fiancée must file a petition with USCIS. To become a permanent resident, you need to prove you are still married after 2 years. You must be able to remain in the country where the Embassy or Consulate is located for the time it takes to process the visa.
