Received IR1 instead of CR1

[684117 15]

Hello members, 

 

I am inquiring for a friend, who has been married for less than two years, during his application and filling up the DS260, his category showed IR1 even though he was married less than two years, he thought it was a system issue and went through the process normally, went to interview, got approved and received his visa a couple days ago, the issue is that his visa category is also IR1, all this and he is still married under two years. his 2nd marriage anniversary falls mid 2018. 

 

What do you think should be done?

 

- contact the embassy to inquire and correct the issue? even though from the very begining his category showed IR1

- Neglect the issue until POE and inform them there?

- Wait until green card is received and if its an IR1 get an infopass and explain the issue

- Totally neglect it and let it be?

- Wait until green card is received and if its an IR1 get an infopass and explain the issue  If you receive the wrong card, file an I-90 with no fee to obtain the correct card.

- Totally neglect it and let it be?  ABOSULETLEY NOT, this would be tantamount to Material Misrepresentation

Report it and have it corrected, like Ryan said. Keeping a green card you know is incorrect can be seen as misrep. Also, if they keep the permanent card and pretend like nothing, they won't ROC like they're suppose to. If USCIS ever find out, they will take away the permanent resident card and the foreign spouse will not only be out of status, they may be deportated and banned from the US. 

 

Tell your friend not to be stupid. They're married, just inform USCIS of the mistake and ROC like they're supposed to.
