Can I work while my I-751 is pending?

Yes. Your I-797C receipt notice, combined with your expired conditional green card, extends your work authorization for up to 48 months while USCIS reviews your petition. Carry both documents together to demonstrate your current status to employers. Visit our removal of conditions lawyer page to learn more, or contact us directly to discuss your situation.
