Permanent Residents have rights and certain responsibilities as Permanent Residents. Below you will read about the general idea of what those rights and responsibilities are and some other useful information related to your immigration status as a Permanent Resident.
Some of you may be "CONDITIONAL U.S. RESIDENTS", this info applies to you while you are in conditional resident status. The difference between you and an unconditioned permanent resident is that your permanent resident status will expire in two years from when it was given, unless you successfully petition to have the condition removed. Those of you with conditional permanent residence either received your residence through a marriage relationship where the marriage was less than two years old at the time you became a Permanent Resident, or you received that status through an investment as an employment creation immigrant (EB-5). If you successfully petition for removal of the condition on your immigration status, this page will still apply to you as a Permanent Resident.
