Entering USA First Time on 2 Year Wedding Anniversary--IR1 or CR1?

[GenevieveHawkins 0]

Hello;

After multiple delays my husband was able to secure a CR1 visa one month ago. At that point we were so close to our 2 year anniversary that I thought it was better to enter on or after our two year wedding anniversary (no removal of conditions then). We found a decent price for an airline ticket exactly on our two year anniversary, which is today. Some questions:

1: My husband would be considered an IR1 now, right? Do we need to show the English translation of our marriage certificate or do something else?

2: We are travelling together (me, my husband, and our baby). Should we go through LAX immigration as a family (both me and baby are USC) or do they need to interview my husband seperately?

3: Has anybody on here done this (I mean granted CR1 but changed to IR1 at POE). I'm terrified they'll give him a CR1, which I think would expire the day he arrives in America for the first time!

Thanks for any advice anyone can give....we have a flight tonight and this is all new to me, so I'm overthinking it....

IR1. Go together. Point out the date of marriage and tell them nicely that you believe it should be a IR1 now.

If your got a CR1 then it would not expire today. It would expire in two years. In the meantime, you could send the card back for the correct one.

If for some your husband receives a 2 year green card instead of a 10 year green card, even though you will point out at the POE that he is now entitled to IR-1 status (it does happen). File an I-90 with no fee to have it corrected.
