U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on April 7, 2022, that it is adopting a "risk-based" approach when waiving interviews for certain conditional permanent residents (CPR) who have filed a petition to remove the conditions on their permanent resident status.

Effective immediately, new criteria will guide USCIS officers on when to waive interviews for CPRs who filed a Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.
