Is everybody granted a 2 year conditional Green card?

[Dusty&Mono 6]

I've been in an on-going relationship for 6 years and I'm about to get married. Will I definitely get a 2 year conditional Green card after approval? Do they ever make exceptions?

I appreciate your clear and kind feedback : )

What kind of exceptions were you after? Yes you get a two year green card if married for two years or less and a 10 year green card if married for longer

[Fan_Dancer 171]

If your marriage is genuine and you can prove it, if you meet all other criteria (not sure there, I think something with the police record being ok), and if your sponsor has enough income, then yes, very high chances of getting approved.

Why would they make an exception? House rules says if you're married less than two years you get a conditional green card. USCIS does not give a ####### about how long you've known the other person. Ok, it gives a little...if you met him/her a day ago then they might be suspicious of visa fraud. But if you known the person for 5 months or more, they don't give a dang. Laws tend to be followed, no exceptions. You'll get approved, and then two years later you'll revisit the USCIS way of thinking and file for the conditions to be lifted. Simple as that...and imho it is completely fair. Good luck!

No exceptions. If you enter the US via immigrant visa and less than 2 years married to your petitioner, you'll get a 2-yr conditional GC.

If you adjust status based on marriage to a US citizen, its the same.

I am not even sure what the OP meant by "exception".

Exception being their relationship is going on for 6 years already prior to marriage. If that matters in determining GC issuance.

**** Please watch your language., The Op asked a legitimate question, and deserves answers *****

Be happy if they even give u a 2 year gn.Many ppl dont even have a chance to get one.

It occurs to me that the OP might be asking the question because of an important detail that perhaps has not been provided. Are you (the non-US citizen) in the USA undocumented? If yes, a conditional permanent residence is not granted to a person who entered the US illegally, even if they marry a US citizen and they apply. AOS (adjustment of status) requires that there is an original status, meaning a visa or legal way in which the applicant seeks to change the status to permanent resident.

Does that answer my question?

They will give you a 2 year Green card, After that you will go through the USCIS steps of lifting the conditions from your green card, Then if you're approved you'll get a 10 year green card, Hope that helps a little, Sorry if it's not enough, It's all I know

As far as I can see from their previous posts, they just came on a K1 visa, so there is no need to make (wrong) assumptions like that. It would be helpful if they filled in their timeline, though, so we have an easier time advising them.

Anyway, as others have said, the length of the relationship does not play a role in determining whether a conditional or an unconditional GC is being issued. It depends on how long you have been married prior to approval of the GC.

Well,everybody is already told u that no,nobody gonna make any exceptions for u.Conditional 2 year GN will be granted if u entered legally and have a real marriage

After your approval - yes most definitely.. If you have been married for less than two years you will receive a 2 year green card.

Approval of course is never guaranteed.
