10 year green card

[carolynhotstuff 252]

Hi Guys,

My husband's case is still in AP after his second interview. We just celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary. If he is issued a visa will the embassy know that he should now receive a 10 year green card or should he tell them at POE that we have been married 2 years?

If the embassy doesn't issue him an IR-1 visa, then just have him mention it at POE and they'll fix it so he gets a 10 year green card instead of the conditional one.

Since you've already been married 2 years and they've not yet issued the visa, they should issue you the correct IR1 visa rather than the CR1. However, if they don't, I would highly recommend contacting the Embassy before travelling to the US to get the error corrected. Don't count on being able to fix it at POE- we were in the exact same situation ourselves (issued CR1 but entered US after 2nd anniversary) and despite informing the officer at POE we were issued the incorrect 2-year GC. It was a long 7-month process to get the correct 10-year card from USCIS.
