How to Upgrade Your Green Card Even After Divorce
Many immigrants to the United States obtain conditional green cards through marriage to a US citizen or resident. These cards are valid for two years and require renewal. According to immigration paralegal Nurziya Talgatovna, the process of upgrading to a permanent green card involves filing Form I-751, "Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence." This must be done 90 days before the conditional card expires. 'Even if you are divorced,' she explains in a recent video, 'you can still obtain a permanent green card by providing evidence of a bona fide marriage.' This includes documentation such as joint financial records, photos, and birth certificates for any children. Talgatovna's video offers valuable guidance to those navigating this complex process, emphasizing the importance of timely filing and proper documentation. The clear information provided in her video is a valuable resource for immigrants facing this situation.
