I've seen it referred to as Immigrant Resident before.. DOS commonly calls it Immediate Relative though. :star:

I don't know who is really right or wrong. If IR means immediate relative, what is the spouse status under CR? Conditional? Well the residency is conditional but does it make you a conditional relative as well, or you're still immediate relative of the person applying for a visa for you? Just my 5 cents...

The IR1 receives the ten year green card and has been married for two or more years. The CR1 is a conditional greencard.

According to a letter I have from the NVC, the IR1, CR1, CR2, IR2 and IR5 are all immediate relative visas.

Waiting.....Waiting....waiting....waiting....and more waiting..........
