USCIS New Rules June 2026: I-751 Conditions on Residence Form Under Revision

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a revision to its currently approved information collection for Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence. The notice was published in the Federal Register on May 29, 2026, signaling a potential update to the form or its associated instructions. Form I-751 is filed by conditional permanent residents — typically those who obtained their green card through a qualifying marriage of less than two years — to remove the two-year condition on their residency. While this form is most commonly associated with marriage-based immigration, some EB-3 applicants who also hold conditional green cards may be affected by any procedural or documentary changes. USCIS has opened a 59-day public comment period, which closes on July 28, 2026. Stakeholders, immigration attorneys, and the general public are encouraged to submit comments via Regulations.gov or FederalRegister.gov. The agency will review all public input before finalizing the revised collection. The specific nature of the revisions — whether they involve new evidence requirements, updated instructions, or form redesign — has not been detailed in the notice excerpt. Applicants currently preparing or planning to file Form I-751 should monitor USCIS.gov for official updates to the form and its requirements before submission.
