Filing ROC is not adjustment of status - you are confusing the two things.

If he has a 2 year green card you need to research removal of conditions.

Moved from adjustment of status to removal of conditions.

You will still have to file for a removal of conditions, 90 days before your 2 year anniversary.

My husband entered the states on January 9 this year on an CR-1 visa. I thought we have to file papers 90 days before his 2 year anniversary of entering occurred, but we received his green card in the mail today. What exactly does this mean and what do we still need to do?

When a person enters the US on an immigration visa, that person automatically gets a green card (legal permanent residency card). Because your husband entered the US on a CR-1 visa, he will get a conditional green card that is valid for 2 years. His legal permanent residency will expire in 2 years unless he removes the condition. He can file 90 days before his conditional green card expires to remove the condition.

Simply put: a CR-1 visa essentially becomes an I-551 stamp upon entry into the U.S., then the I-551 stamp essentially becomes a conditional green card after the border officers file the right documents. It's pretty much one process with three elements.

Removing conditions is a completely separate process that leads to your ten-year green card. That is what you need to deal with 90 days before his two-year anniversary.

Better to be very overprepared than even slightly underprepared!
