[romnick 15]

Thanks to everyone for the help so far...You guys are simply amazing most especially Damilola and Azu...However I have another question to ask,Please is there any possibility of exiting with IR? I started filing when my marriage was a little less than 2yrs old hence,I was placed on CR-1 category,Meanwhile ,my interview should be coming up in December by God's grace,if so I should be 2 and a half years old in marriage by then.Is there a possibility of getting IR by then? I have read a lot of conflicting reports on this.Some says yes it is possible whilst others says not possible.Would be glad to have anybody with similar experience on board to respond to this or anybody who knows anyone that has successfully done this.If yes at what point ,POE or Usembassy ?Thanks in advance.

Basically, IR1/CR1 classification happens when the Alien# is registered (I-551 stamp) and Alien Registration Card (plastic GC) is issued. This happens at POE. So, when you touch the U.S soil, just mention the POE officer with your original marriage certificate about it.

Also, during interview time, you may have a chit chat with the officer about it. If they note it something in the sealed envelope, it would be useful to you too at POE time.
