conditional green card
my green card was approved few days back and I got the approval letter. It states, I will receive a conditional green card and need to apply to remove those conditions before my card expires. Do you guys think vawa applicants get a conditional green card instead of 10years card?

@chris rod i was married in 2019 and filed i485 and i130 in 2020 but we didn't attend the interview so it got denied. I filed vawa in Dec 2021 concurrently i485

@chris rod so that means i need to remove the conditions by filing i-751?
santhi pApr 7, 2026
@chris rod could you please tell me with what evidence because I'm no longer with my spouse. we got divorced and moved on
santhi pApr 7, 2026
@chris rod do you think i should add any evidence with the form? i have submitted every document while i was applying in the first place

@chris rod i am trying to marry an f1 student in the next month and want to file for a green card, what are my chances?

@santhi p if your green card is based on approved vawa it must be 10 years green card without any condition. so that’s a mistake of USCIS. call them asap and try to fix it

Check your green card if is valid for 10 years or 2 years, if is 10 years it mean they granted by VAWA or consult a lawyer

Yes. If permanent residence is granted through a marriage that was less than two years old at the time residence was granted, USCIS can impose conditional residence, and USCIS’s I-751 materials expressly provide a battery-or-extreme-cruelty waiver path for abused conditional residents. So a VAWA-connected case can still involve a 2-year conditional card, followed by an I-751 waiver rather than a joint filing.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them in our next Lawfully office hours session!
