The K3 flowchart says this: " If your interview (and specifically the approval) occurs within 2 years of your marriage you will be granted a conditional permanent residency (2 year validity). If this happens you will have to apply to lift conditions 90 days prior to your 2 year green card expiring. If you are 'adjusted' greater than 2 years after you were married you should receive a normal 10 year green card. "

We have our AOS interview tomorrow and we were married more than two years ago. I'm hoping we get a 10 year green card, but want to be able to point to immigration regs on this in our interview if it becomes an issue. Can anyone point me to USCIS regs that back this up?

Thanks!

it shouldn't be an issue.. they understand the regs

They do but it's a good idea to remind them you've been married two years already, so they don't forget to make the connection. It may avoid you having to correct a mistake later. Usually it's just routine though. The regulation is so well understood, you won't need to do anything more than remind them.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
