Conditional Resident Status

Conditional Resident Status is a temporary immigration status granted to individuals, typically spouses of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, to ensure the authenticity of their marriage. This status is part of the U.S. immigration process for those who marry citizens to prevent fraud. It lasts for two years, during which the couple must prove their marriage is genuine. Before the status expires, they must apply to remove the conditions, providing evidence of their continuing relationship. If successful, they become permanent residents; if not, they may face removal from the country.
