You have to send it back but call them first to let them know before sending because it might take like 6 months to get another one....I am also adjusting from K1 National benefit center......I am a June filer.When I where did u file please

The above is correct with one important addition, since it's a USCIS error, no fee will be required.

thank you for all the reply guys ... but if i will use my 10 years green card . can i still apply for citizenship after 2 years and 9 months?

Can you explain why it is an error to receive a 10-year green card? I wouldn't think so, if I hadn't seen this forum post.

Your permanent residence status is conditional if it is based on a marriage that was less than 2 years old on the day you were given permanent residence. You are given conditional resident status on the day you are lawfully admitted to the United States on an immigrant visa or adjustment of your status to permanent residence.

Your attorney is outright dumb and wrong.

You can believe him/her and do nothing. Your choice.

Here is the office USCIS website about 2 year conditional green card:

https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/after-green-card-granted/conditional-permanent-residence/remove-conditions-permanent-residence-based-marriage

You are married in february 2016 and sent in AOS april 2016.

Obviously you are not married for more than 2 years.

Listening to that attorney will net you nothing but serious consequences, it would probably be best to sever ties with that attorney as quickly as possible.

You need to send the card back to USCIS with an I-90, since it's a USCIS error, you will pay no fee to receive the correct card.

[Merrytooth 5,748]

hello again merrytooth . can you help me make a letter of explanation for error ... im fixing my i-90 now ...

Here is my sample cover letter:

To whom it may concern:

I am requesting to replace the I-551 Alien Registration Card due to USCIS administrative error on my I-551 card as follows:

The incorrect card states expiration date with 10 year validity.

The correct expiration date should be 2 year validity.

Reason:

My permanent residence status is conditional based on marriage under K1 status which is less than 2 years at the time the Form I-485 is approved.

Enclosed, please find the following:

1. Completed I-90 Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card

2. Original I-551 Alien Registration Card with error

3. Evidence of USCIS error:

- Copy of I-485 Approval Letter

- Copy of K1 visa and I-94

- Copy of Marriage Certificate

Please process and acknowledge receipt at your earliest convenience.

Thank you.
