What is the likelihood of me getting a permanent Green Card?

I just received my Green Card Interview letter today and it says that my appointment is Feb 23rd. My 2nd wedding anniversary is April 5th. I heard that you get your permanent Green Card if you've been married for 2 years.

Do you think if I talk to them at the interview they would give me the permanent card instead of the conditional one?

It's kind of annoying that we sent of the Adjustment of Status late October and expected it to take 6 months like everyone else. But it feels like they've purposely rushed ours so that our interview was just before our second anniversary just so they can get us to pay extra money for the Lifting of Conditions!

You can always ask for a deferred approval.... don't know how they will react but you can always ask....

If you are approved at the interview, you will get a 2 yr GC. People have been approved 10 days before their 2 yr anniversary and have gotten a 2 yr GC. You are 6 weeks before, so you will definitely get a 2yr.

I'm not suggesting this, but here's an idea. If you "forgot" to bring a document to the interview, they would probably give you an RFE and up to 45 or 60 days (I think) to respond to it. If you sent it in late March, there's a chance it would be approved after your anniversary and you'd get a 10yr GC.
