1) Working While an Adjustment Application is Pending

2) Abusive Spouse Not Filing the I-751 Form
Are you looking to obtain a ten year green card but facing abuse in your home? As a New Jersey Immigration Attorney, I was recently asked about converting a two year Green Card into a ten year if the person was suffering abuse by their spouse.
- Their is a waiver for the I-751 that allows you to bypass the joint signature needed to complete the form. You will need to document the reason for the waiver.
- Once you complete the waiver, you will also need to submit evidence of the abuse by either phones, hospital records, or affidavits. You will also need to prove that the marriage was made in good faith and not just for citizenship.
3) Requirements to File an I-751 Petition
- You must convert your two year Green Card into a permanent 10 year Green Card.
- You must file 90 days prior to your conditional Green Card expiration date.
- You must prove your marriage is legitimate by joint documentation.
