CR1 Visa issued despite being married longer than 2 years

[jv86 1]

Hi everyone,

My wife was issued a CR1 visa recently but we have been married for 2 years and 8 months. I tried to call the USCIS office call center here in Jordan where I currently reside with my wife to ask if this will negatively affect our entering the US but (surprise) they were less then helpful and told me that they cannot answer that question as it will be up to the CBP officer and I should check their website. I also tried to call the embassy directly and after being transferred, no one answered.

I've browsed a few topics that had similar issues and I want to say that it shouldn't be an issue since the green card will be issued based on length of marriage at the time of entry to the US so from what I understand it is possible to have a CR1 visa and have it stamped/endorsed as IR1.

Can anyone confirm that this will be the case? I'm just hoping that this entire process can be put aside so we can focus on moving.

Thanks.

That just her Visa. When she enters the US and CBP enters processes her they will enter that she gets a 10 year green card.

You started the process as a CR1 and it just stays like that but green card issuing comes most time correct.

Just be sure to have marriage license in hand at POE and remind CBP you are pass your 2 year.

And if for some odd reason 2 year instead of 10 year green card arrives easy to correct send back with the I-90 form or make a Infopass and drop off and correct card will arrive.

No this will not effect her entry into the US. She needs a Visa to enter she has that you are fine.
