Good news.

My wife's green card arrived today (2/6/2006). It's a 2-year conditional PR card, despite 2 years and 2 months of marriage.

On the positive side, an interview was not required!

We're done with USCIS until 10/28/2007, when we can file to have the conditions removed.

Thanks to everyone who's helped us in the past.

The I-751 (Removal of Conditions application) can be filed up to 90 days prior to the 2 year anniversary of the AOS approval. That's why I said 2007.
