I have been married for more than 2 years and at the POE my passport was stamped with CR1 and not IR1

No one can answer that question.  We don't post odds here.  Hope for the best.

Neither do I throw dice. My question is clear and can be answered by someone who knows the answer. Or someone who had his passport stamped with cr1 after 2 years marriage and whether she or he received the 2 ir 10 years green card. I'm not looking for statistical analysis.

But I was wondering what are the chances that they'll give me the wrong one at the first place.

Either exactly 0% or 100% based on if they make a mistake or not.

No mistake: 0%

Mistake: 100%

 

What are the chances USCIS will make a mistake? Well, that does require hard data (not available to the public) and a simple calculation.

That's the type of answers I was looking for! You're smart.

Ah but that is exactly what you asked for.  You asked what are the odds.  That is statistical analysis.

I knew there would be dirt in the way, so I'm not totally surprised. Thanks for your comments

Again, incorrect info "It's based on how long you are married when you become an LPR. You become an LPR upon entry at POE via an immigrant visa". No it is not, it is based on how long you have been married at the time the visa or permanent resident green card is issued, or in the case of a K1 visa who filed Adjustment of Status it is based on how long you have been married at the time the permanent resident green card is issued. I personally know people who came to the US on a K1 visa, waited a little over 1 year after marriage to file Adjustment of Status, by the time their permanent resident card was issued 1 year later it had been 2 years since married thus they received a 10 year green card without having to file for Removal of Conditions.

Please, read the link directly from the source. It very clearly states the requirements. I did not pull the wording out of thin air...the source is there right from the horse's mouth. I'm not sure how else I can make it more clear:

"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."

 

Re: AOS

If somebody waited over a year to file for AOS and then it took another year for AOS to be approved, then they will get a 10 year card as well. It's based on the day you become an LPR, not when the card is issued. For AOS, these 2 events are usually very close to each other, but not the same. For an immigrant visa, the date of visa issuance and POE could be up to 6 months apart.

Differences Between IR1 and CR1 Visas

• IR1 (IR stands for "Immediate Relative") Visas entitle their holder to receive Permanent Residency within the United States for a period of 10 years (may be renewed)
• CR1 (CR stands for "Conditional Residency") Visas entitle their holder to receive "Conditional" Permanent Residency within the United States for a period of 2 years

The deciding factor on which visa an applicant is issued (IR1 versus CR1 visa) is the amount of time that they have been married at the time the visa is issued. If an applicant has been married to their US Citizen spouse for a period of two years or greater they will be issued an IR1 Visa. If they have been married less than two years they will be issued a CR1 Visa. A CR1 Visa will result in the applicant obtaining "conditional" permanent residency within the US and after a period of two years the applicant can apply to "Remove Conditions" 90 days before the conditional permanent resident card expires and they will be issued a regular 10 year green card.

The type of visa you will get is based on how long you were married at the time the visa is issued. Your status is based on how long you were married at the time you were admitted to the US on an immigrant visa.

Thanks for your comment. I think what you're saying may not be 100% correct. I took a photo of what the embassy gave me that is attached below. I think it means from the time being married to the time I'm admitted to the POE.
