No, it will depend on what the balance of the loan is relative to the original appraised value. If it's 80% or better, you should be able to petition to have it removed. What Andrew is saying is that regardless of the principal balance paydown, if you keep the loan you'll have MI for 5 years.

In most cases you will need to pay the original balance down to 80% loan to value.  If it's FHA even if you do that you have to wait 5 years from the date you closed.
