I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence): If green card is obtained based on marriage to a US citizen, it is generally subject to the conditions of residence. The green card is valid only for a period of two years except the I-485 is filed later than two years of marriage. Within three months before the end of the two-year period, such green card holder must submit a petition to remove the conditions of residence. Failure to do so will result in revocation of the permanent residence. Extensive evidence is usually required to demonstrate the bona-fide marriage relationship through common residence and co-mingling financial resources during the past two years of marriage, including: 1) documentation showing joint ownership of property; 2) a lease showing joint tenancy of common residence; 3) documentation showing commingling of financial resources; 4) birth certificates of a child; 5) affidavits of third parties having knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship; 6) other documentation establishing that the marriage was not entered into in order to evade the immigration laws of the U.S.
