Hi Ian,

We have been married a year now, but visiting each other before marriage.

I am of the opinion that at the point of entry into the US, I will be granted either cr1 or Ir, depending on if i land past our 2 year anniversary.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

2 year wedding anniversary, you are correct. If you enter the USA on or after the 2 year anniversary of your marriage you will receive an IR1 category green card which is a 10 year green card with no need to remove conditions.

Your daughter would receive an IR2 and also a 10 year green card.

Since you have been married a year already, by the time the process is done you should be close to the 2 year anniversary of your marriage. Time before that doesn't count.

If you time it right, you can enter the US after your 2nd anniversary and both of you will get IR1 and IR2, respectively. If not, you will get CR1 and CR2 and will have to file to remove conditions in 2 years.

Also even if you are issued visas that say CR1 and CR2, you would still be given the IR1 and IR2 categories if you enter after the 2nd anniversary. This is the case when the visa issued prior to the 2nd anniversary, but you enter after the 2nd anniversary.
