Sibtain, I thing you can go for CR1. Call the US embassy in Islamabad or shoot them an email. The CO has the authority to change a IR-1 to CR-1 that is my understanding.

Good luck.

I-864 and I864A do not need to be notarized.

Guys!

i still need the satisfactory answer?

The CR1 or IR1 is determined at the POE when you get to the US based on your date of marriage. Good luck!

You will get an IR-1 visa. If you've been married 2 years or more on the day of your interview, you will receive an Immediate Relative (IR-1) visa. If it has been less than 2 years, you will receive a Conditional Resident (CR-1) visa.

Regardless of which visa is issued at the interview, if you've been married 2 years or more on the day you enter the US, you will receive a 10 year greencard. Less than two years will result in a 2 year conditional greencard.

I thought the CR-1 was for when you have been married for less than 2 years?

From what i have read from different posts people have been recieving the IR-1 at the POE.

I'd correct this by stating that you *should* get an IR1 but there have been cases where a CR1 was given by mistake. So don't be afraid to ask questions if they offer the wrong visa.

Yes. If you were married for less than two years at the time you entered into the US (POE) its CR1. The interview date has no bearing on which visa you get. You could be married for a year and a half then have your interview, but enter the US after you have been married 2 years . At that time you would receive an IR1.

and what about 1 864 & I864 notarized?

There's IR1 status and then there's the IR1 visa. You are entitled to either or both depending on how long you've been married at interview or at POE. The visa "should" be IR1 if married two years at issue, and the status should be IR1 if married two years at POE, even if the visa is CR1.

If the Consulate issues the wrong visa, I wouldn't worry about it. Just make sure the POE gets it right. You use the visa only once but the green card needs to be right.

They should give you IR-1 because you are marriage over 2 years from POE.. I would make sure and send an email to Embassy to make sure. I have seen where IR-1 was not issued and they had problems later trying to change the error.

Good Luck!!
