Finally, visa received and back together...but another question

[a1188323 0]

Wife just entered a few minutes ago. However, when she was coming through, the border agent told her that we have to file for our change of status(or whatever its called) 2 years from our wedding date, however the website here is very specific that its 2 years from entry date. Can anyone provide any clarification?

She will get a greencard. Date of expiry will be on it (two years from card issue). Renew it before it expires.

The CBP officer used incorrect terminology AND got the date wrong. She won't file to change status, she will file to remove conditions on residency. The soonest one can file to remove conditions is 90 days before the expiration date printed on the green card.
