Hi all,

We were married less than 2 years when we applied DCF and got my Green Card last year I was expecting to get CR1 however in my GC my category appears to be IR1, also expiration date is 10 years from the date I got mine, Do you know anything about this kind of situation? please write..

thanks

I'm curious because normally I have to apply for I1 in couple of months at this point I don't know if We should apply or not.

You might want to call them to be sure. I've read on here that sometimes mistakes are made.

You don't want to miss removing conditions because of their errors. I would want an official letter for my files.

Good luck.

@Gowon

That's what I thought We can't risk it,

I'm just curious if this has happened to somebody else in VJ community.

Had you been married for more than 2 years when you entered the US with your immigrant visa? If so, that explains why you already have the permanent green card.

Congratulations!

Happens all the time. You should've sent back the wrong card with a copy of your marriage certificate, date of entry and a I-90 form (no-fee as USCIS error) and gotten a 2-yr card. Why wait over a year to get the card fixed?

I see in your timeline that you got marry in 2012,and your POE is also in 2012.That's an error,they do mistakes sometime,contact USCIR,probably they will tell you to apply for your CR1 card.But don't make assumptions and just call them.It's been a while already.

You entered in 2012 and you are just questioning this now, over a year later?
