A couple of questions

[morretti 0]

I would be really grateful if anyone can help me find information, or give me some clarification, on a couple of points before my interview.

Firstly, I received the interview letter from the embassy today and it says: Traveling applicants <just my name > . I'd put on the packet 3 forms that my husband would be attending the interview with me, will I need to contact the embassy and have his name added or can he just turn up with me and he'll be allowed in the embassy?

Secondly, I can't find anything official that says when the 2 year marriage CR1/IR1 10 year GC thing kicks in. Do we have to be married 2 years at the date of the interview or do we have to be married 2 years at time of POE? Done a lot of searching online and can't find anything official that makes it clear when the CR1 actually becomes an IR1, and with our 2nd anniversay so close I'd rather try and change the interview date if there is any doubt.

Thanks in advance for any help

CR1/IR1 determination is based on the date of your POE. If you have your interview before your 2nd wedding anniversary and they issue you a CR1 visa, then you enter the States after the 2nd anniversary... USCIS *should* automatically correct it and send you an IR1 green card. If they don't catch this you can submit an I-90 Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card form and check box "d" which reads "My card was issued with incorrect information because of a USCIS administrative error." You will not have to pay the filing fee, just send them back the original green card you received, and I'd probably also send a copy of the stamped page in your passport showing your POE date and a copy of your marriage certificate as proof
