Use I-751: http://www.uscis.gov/i-751
If you are filing a joint application with your spouse to remove the conditions on your permanent residence, you must submit the following:
- USCIS Form I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence) signed by both you and your spouse
- Copy of USCIS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card)
- Evidence that you did not get married to evade the immigration laws of the United States. Examples of such evidence includes, but is not limited to:
Leases showing that you and your spouse live in the same place
Documents that prove that you and your spouse own property together
Birth certificates of your children
BUT:
This should have been done 90 days before the second anniversary.
I recommend contacting USCIS: 1-800-870-3676
FYI:
What if I am Late in Applying to Remove the Conditions on Residence?
If you fail to properly file the Form I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence) within the 90-day period before your second anniversary as a conditional resident, your conditional resident status will automatically be terminated and the USCIS will order removal proceedings against you. You will receive a notice from the USCIS telling you that you have failed to remove the conditions, and you will also receive a Notice to Appear at a hearing. At the hearing you may review and rebut the evidence against you. You are responsible for proving that you complied with the requirements (the USCIS is not responsible for proving that you did not comply with the requirements).
The Form I-751 can be filed after the 90-day period if you can prove in writing to the director of the Service Center that there was good cause for failing to file the petition on time. The director has the discretion to approve the petition and restore your permanent resident status.How can i change my condition green card to permanent green card due to marriage?
You need to file form I-751 with the CIS and you need to file right now. It's supposed to be filed 90 days before the 2 year date on your conditional green card.
