My husband petioner for my daughter (his stepdaughter). I have been a green card holder since 2006 with no conditions( I had a previous marriage and the conditions were removed then). My daughter went for her AOS interview last week and she was approved but the officer told her she would get a 2 year green card..My husband and I have only been married for a year...I don't understand why the step child would be given a conditional green card in this situation as I already have a 10 year card...What conditions would she have to apply to remove in 2 years???

The likely conditions are that the parents are still married at that point in time.

Your daughter's green card was issued based on her relationship to your husband because he was the one who sent the petition. Because you and your husband have been married less than two years her green card is conditional. The condition it's based on is your marriage to your husband.

BTW, your husband could concurrently submit an I-130 and I-485 for your daughter because he's a US citizen. You could not because you're an LPR. You would have had to submit an I-130 petition, wait for it to be approved, further wait for her priority date to become current, and then submit an I-485. In the meantime, she would have had to maintain her non-immigrant status in order to be eligible to adjust status. Your husband's petition made her immediately eligible to adjust status, and also protects her in the event her non-immigrant status had expired.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

08/18/2010 - AOS Interview - APPROVED!

05/01/2013 - Removal of Conditions - APPROVED!
