If we married in 1/12/2012 and send in I-130 around 8/12/2012 that about 7 months after our marriage, what if mine wife come over to US after our 2yrs university, is that consider IR1 or it still CR1 and remove condition later? could someone please verify, thanks in a bunch

If you wife enters the US on your after your second anniversary, she would be able to claim IR-1 status to CBP if she has a CR-1 visa. Admission under IR-1 status will result in the 10 year green card that goes with it and there would be no need to remove conditions later.

while applied CR1/IR1 my wife have a baby on 8/24/2012, can We do CRBA for our child a year later on 8/24/2013 or we have to do CRBA right away after our baby born, any advice? the reason I ask, because due to the work load I have therefore I cant take times to be there alone with my wife side for our baby.

You are confusing me with all the future dates but there is no reason to delay filing the CRBA.

Perhaps it's a language difficulty. You'll need to time things correctly or your wife's visa will expire before your child is ready to travel. Your wife's visa will only be valid for six months from the issue date. Do you want your wife and child to travel to the USA together?

that is correct I want them travel together to US..

Then you have a timing issue to work out. As long as you keep visiting and maintaining your relationship, then you can time things as you wish. Sounds like filing the I-130 in August, 2012 is too soon, if you want to wait until a year after that to file the CRBA. When do you want them to both arrive?

If I understand right from your first post, you don't want your wife and baby to come to the USA for 2 years, when her college is finished? In that case, I would not file the I-130 for another year. While it is recommended to file the CRBA as soon as possible after the birth of a child, there is no penalty for filing after a year.

8-10 months; she then has 6 months to use the visa.
