Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Form I-751 cost in 2026?
Form I-751 (Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence) costs $750 in 2026. This includes biometric services. Attorney fees for I-751 typically range from $800 to $2,500 in addition to the USCIS filing fee.
When should I file Form I-751?
File Form I-751 in the 90-day window before your 2-year conditional green card expires. Filing too early or too late causes problems. Set a calendar reminder 95 days before expiration to start preparing.
What if I am divorced — can I still file I-751?
Yes. You can file I-751 as a 'waiver' filing if your marriage ended in good faith but does not continue. The waiver categories are: divorce/annulment after good-faith marriage, abuse/battery by US citizen spouse, or extreme hardship if removed from the US. A waiver case is more complex — consult an immigration attorney.
What evidence do I need for joint I-751 filing?
Provide evidence the marriage is genuine: joint financial accounts, joint lease/mortgage, joint tax returns, joint insurance, photos together over time, children born to the marriage, statements from family and friends, and any other proof of a bona fide relationship.
What happens if I don't file I-751?
If you don't file I-751 before your conditional green card expires, you will fall out of lawful status and could be placed in removal proceedings. Do not miss the deadline. If you missed it, contact an immigration attorney immediately to discuss late filing or other options.
