permanent greencard

[Jeanne Morin Boulanger]

Quick question, can you apply for you permanent green card 2 years after you have been married or 2 years after you apply for I-485? I got married in October 2013, applied september 2014 and just did my interview 2 weeks ago. Am i going to be able to apply in October or do I have to wait another year? Tha ks

If your LPR was approved when you were married for less than two years, you will get a conditional green card. You can only lift those conditions effective after two years of LPR.

Thanks! I dont know what LPR mean but yes my green card was approved less than 2 years after i got married! So even tho I have been married for a year and a half i guess ill have to wait another 2 years?

Yes. If you had the luxury of waiting just another six months (not all aliens do, especially those who have overstayed) you would have been granted unconditional permanent residency.
