Whether a marriage-based green card process always requires going through the conditional green card stage
I’d like to know if a marriage-based green card process always requires going through the conditional stage.
I’ve heard that if the marriage has lasted a long time, you might be able to get a permanent green card directly instead of a conditional one — so I’m asking.
Yes, you can receive it directly. If you were legally married at least 2 years before obtaining your green card, there’s a good chance you’ll receive a permanent green card directly, without the conditional stage.
