10YEAR UNCONDITIONAL GREEN CARD AND 2YEAR CONDITIONAL

[fftpholdings 0]

Hi there,

I wish to be clarified on the complexities of 10YEAR UNCONDITIONAL GREEN CARD AND 2YEAR CONDITIONAL

Its often quoted and said that a Conditional permanent Resident Status shall be granted to an alien in the USA; 1. As of the day he/she is admitted or adjusted to conditional status by a USCIS Officer and he is required to remove the conditions by filing 1-750 during the 90-day period immediately before second anniversary of the date the alien was granted conditional permanent resident status?

My questions:

1.Must I be subjected to removing conditions if my 1-130 petition is approved a year prior my admission into the USA meaning Does this second year anniversary to lift conditions apply when 1-130 petition was approved or when your actual permanent resident status is granted and at this juncture admission into the USA?

My goal here is to obtain a 10year unconditional green card....

So should I be required to remove the said condition if the time of my admission into the USA not the time of getting 1-130 petition approved is more han 2years of my current marital existence?

Thanx for your time to share your insights.

ROC is done 90 days prior to the second anniversary of becoming a permanent resident...the date noted on your green card. It has nothing to do with the I-130 NOA2 date.

If you enter the US after 2 years of marriage then you should be eligible for IR1 status and not have to deal with ROC.

Good luck!

BTW this thread has a similar question: CR1 vs IR1

There are basically 2 ways to get a 10-year Green Card right away:

1) You enter with a K-1 (fiance visa), get married, then wait 2 years until you submit your AOS petition.

2) You get married, then wait 2 years until you file your IR-1 visa petition.

In any case, you will wait 2 years.

Thanks for your swift response.

AM married to a USC for year now and we are residing in South Africa.

We are limited in resources to relocate to the USA thus awaiting to offset liabilities.

Does filing a IR-1 Visa petition similar to filing 1-130 petition?

When would the two year marriage periods start counting?

After being admitted into the USA or approval of 1-130 petition at the USA Consulate here in Johannessburg?

I would appreciate your insight.

Yes for IR1 visa you need to file I-130.

Two year marriage period start from your date of marriage.

Dear

Yes,Oct 29,2011 will complete my 2 year marriage life. So the date of securing 1-130 approval will be irrelevant to the rule? And i should apply my immigrant visa afterwards after Oct 29,2011 completing the 2years?

I am really very grateful to your guides.

Thanks

The CR1/IR1 is all about the date you enter the US, not the date when the US Citizen petitions for their spouse.

If you have been married for at least 2 years on the date that you enter the US using your visa you will get the unconditional green card.
