Conditional Permanent Resident Status. Section 216 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provides for you to become a lawful permanent resident on a conditional basis, based on marriage. Section 216A provides for you to become a lawful permanent resident on a conditional basis, based on a qualifying investment. Both sections allow USCIS to terminate your conditional status as provided by the law (in the event of fraud, for example).

Image Credit: National Park Service. Beneath Yellowstone National Park in the western United States, lies a hot, upwelling plume of mantle. Heat from the mantle melts the overlying rocks and the resulting magma pools close to Earthâs surface. Areas such as these are known as volcanic hotspots. Occasionally, molten rock from a hotspot will erupt. Three enormous eruptions occurred at the Yellowstone hotspot 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and 640,000 years ago.
