Conditional Residency

Conditional residency is a type of immigration status granted to individuals who are in the process of obtaining a permanent residency but still need to meet certain requirements. For example, a common scenario is when individuals marry a U.S. citizen; they may receive a conditional residency for two years. During this period, they must prove that the marriage is genuine and not solely for immigration purposes. After fulfilling the conditions, they can apply for permanent residency, which offers more stability and rights in the country.
