Green Card Length

[IndustriousAnt 0]

Hi,

I posted this in another forum, but so far no reply.

Just thought i'd double post it here for good measure.

If my husband and I have been married for 2+ years do I get a 10 year Green Card when entering the US?

I think I read it somewhere, but haven't seen it on any official documents.

Are their any conditions placed on it? Anyone been a similar situation?

Thanks.

M.

Yes, you will get unconditional Greencard.

you might need to let them know at the POE though and make sure and have your marriage certificate handy as they may ask to see it...

So, what is different between the 2 year GC and the 10 year?

You have to remove conditions with a 2 year green card, in order to get a 10 year green card. Costs more money. A CR-1 visa means that you have conditional status in the US for 2 years.

I don't know what IR-1 stands for but there are no conditions on your residency. 10 year GC is obviously preferable if you can get it.

And if he's coming in on a K1... I know about the AOS... I'm assuming that's when he gets the 2 year GC? Yeah, the AOS for K1 is $1010. LOVELY! Right as we're trying to pay for a wedding.

Originally, we thought this was the best way after researching... guess we didn't do enough research.

Thanks Tmixy. I honestly never would have guessed that.
