What is a K-1 Green Card? Never heard of it. Have heard of a
conditional residency which gives one a 2 year green card. The petition
to remove the conditions can be filed from 90 to 1 day before the green
card expires. There are no restrictions, per se. The conditions are
that your marriage is still intact and viable at the time the petition
is adjudicated.

What are the restrictions that have to be removed by the 2nd year on a K1
green card.

TIA

Read all about 'em:

Removing Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage

Check your dates, too. It looks like you might misunderstand. The
petition must be filed within the 90 days before the 2nd anniversary of
the Green Card (not the wedding).

See the middle part. The condition is that you stay married for at
least two years, or if a certain type of investor, make the business
make a go.

Please read the links provided--they are usually given because they
answer the question asked.

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident
http://tinyurl.com/yg62uh
Some of you may be CONDITIONAL RESIDENTS. This page applies equally 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.

I guess I'm a little dense. The I 751 removes the conditions, But I was
wanting to know what are the conditions. I'm guessing change the GC from 2
years to 10 year status?
