A conditional permanent resident receives a Green Card valid for two years. To remove the conditions on your permanent resident status, you must file a petition within the 90-day period before your conditional Green Card expires.  You cannot renew your conditional Green Card. If your conditions are not removed, you will lose your permanent resident status and you will become removable from the United States.
 

To remove the conditions on a Green Card based on marriage, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence.
