Conditional permanent residency

Conditional permanent residency is a temporary status granted to certain green card applicants, typically when the applicant's marriage is less than two years old or they are investing a significant amount of money. It allows them to live and work in the U.S. for two years while they satisfy specific requirements. Before it expires, they must apply to remove the conditions by proving their relationship or investment is genuine. If approved, they receive permanent residency without restrictions. This process ensures the status is not granted based on fraudulent claims or temporary circumstances.
