Hi, All,

Can someone provide some advice on this issue? Here is the story.

1. Applied for and received CR1 immigrant visa

2. Waited until we had been married for over two years for our POE

3. At POE, immigrant visa/passport was endorsed properly as IR1, as 2 year anniversary had passed.

4. Just received the official green card in the mail today and it is.... CR1!!!! Expires in two years!

But in the passport it is endorsed as IR1!!

This is 100% "their" mistake, does anyone know how I can go about getting them to properly change/re-issue the green card correctly as IR1?

So upsetting, I thought we were done with this struggle! Visajourney got us through the whole application process and we did everything right. I don't want to go through AOS after two years because we were admitted as IR1!

Thanks everyone!

But in the passport it is endorsed as IR1 and our two year anniversary had already passed!

Call USCIS and address this problem to them they will guide you about the best way to go about fixing it and getting the correct green card .

Good Luck

Find a job you love to do, and you will never work another day in your life.

Call USCIS to open an infopass appointment to correct this issue. Since it is USCIS error, you don't have to pay any fee, but to fill I-90 to replace the green card (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b3f7ab0a43b5d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD)

In a lighter note, Conditional GC holder do Removal of Condition (ROC) before the expiry of the CR1. It is not AOS.

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I'll try the infopass appointment and bring the i90 you linked to.

RE: ROC vs AOS, I didn't know the terminology because I didn't expect to have to do either! B-)

I'll update this post here to see what infopass says if anyone with a similar issue is interested.
