Applying for CR1 but entering US after 2nd year anniversary- Will I get non conditional residence?

[izzyflan 0]

Hi, My hubby (US citizen) and I (His Irish wife) are starting off with our visajourney, Just awaiting our i-130 approval, I have been told and reading that if you are 2years or more married when you enter the US with your visa (once approved) - even though approved for a CR1 - if you point out to the immigration official when you enter the US they will approve you for your green card without any conditions. Is this true? Just want to clarify as we are planning to move in June and we will be over 2 yrs married at that stage but prob not before the iinterview stage....

thanks

When you receive the approval notice for your I-130, it will state there what visa category you will fall. CR-1 gets 2 yrs greencard and IR-1 gets 10 yrs. Me and my husband were already 22 months married when i got my visa and flew here in the US after 5 months (2 yrs and 3 months married) but they still gave me condional greencard and im about to file removal of conditional status next week.

Mine is expiring on April 16. You have to file the removal of conditional status 90 days before the expiration date. If got approved for the application for removal of conditional residency, that is when they will give me the 10 yrs greencard.
