We qualified for an IR-1

[Nita&Assaad 0]

I am Curious about changing the status from CR-1 to IR-1 before we get to the Embassy part of the journey. Has anyone else been through this, or wondering what needs to be done?

I read somewhere that once you complete 2 years of being married while going through the Immigration process that you would be switched Atomically to IR-1, but from my last cover sheet after paying IV Bill; it still states CR-1. On May 13 of this year , we will have been married 2 years. Can anyone answer this question? I would appricate it.

You do nothing. The Consulate will simply issue an IR1 category visa when the time comes. Frankly, it doesn't matter though because what you really want is the 10 year green card. USCIS issues that after entry. Even those with CR1 visas who enter after two years of marriage, get the unconditional (10 year) card.

But do I still have to do removing conditions even if IR-1 status? I thought that was just for CR-1 status

Not unless you receive the 10-year green card by mistake.

So if my spouse gets the 10 year unconditional GC issued upon entry, do we still have to do Removal of conditions?? I am confused about that

If he gets the 10 year greencard you do not need to remove conditions.

10 years = unconditional = no conditions to remove.
