I'm not sure exactly, but I believe the CR1 stands for Conditional Residency when you enter on a CR1 you get a 2 year green card and must apply to remove the conditions, with the IR1 you get a 10 year green card. Which one you get depends on how long you've been married when you enter the U.S.

Yes, riblet, I agree with you.

If you enter the US before your second wedding anniversary, you get a CR-1, which gives permanent residency for a shorter period (2 yr I think) but if it is after your second wedding anniversary, you should get a IR-1, which is a 10-yr permanent residency.

So after the two year "green card" are you issued a Permanent "green card"?

Yes, 3 months before your 2 years is up, you need to file for Removal of conditional status. After you file and USCIS processes the case - with an interview with both the husband and wife they will approve a 10 year green card.

There is a forum on this site that discusses Removal of Conditions.
