I am curious does your green card say "CR1" under the place where it says "category" and you still got a 10 year green card? or did they Accidentally issue your green card under the category of "IR1"?

It says IR6 under the category. I don't know what that means. Does that make any difference?

Okay. I am going to let more experienced chime in on this. But from what I understand spouse of USC are either Cr1 or Ir1. So I dont know what the IR6 is for. But IR stands for immediate retaliative.

 

I am not going to try to speculate on your case, because I honestly have no idea. But hopefully this information will help give others the information they need to give you the right advice.

'IR6 means Immediate Relative (Spouse) of a U.S. Citizen. It is Permanent Residence based on Family (Marriage). More specifically it is the classification of an immigrant relative (husband or wife) that acquired PR through marriage and adjustment of status after the marriage had been in place for 2 years.'

 

 

It looks like its an adjusted 10 yr visa

There are people who contact USCIS to say they have the wrong card, are told not a problem. Go in for an Infopass appt, told not a problem. Send off the I-751 package, have it returned ( with uncashed check) saying you don't need to apply for this.

But then sometimes it gets to the naturalization interview and they say OOOOH PROBLEM.

 

 

 

That would be our case exactly, except at the naturalization interview it was still no problem.

So if am following your logic correctly. The recipient of the IR6 Greencard should have been married for 2 years (or more) to the USC at the time of the adjustment. 

 

So based on what OP has said USCIS issued her the wrong category greed card?

 

So should she have been issued a green card under the Category of CR6 (from a quick internet search, that looks like the right category)

yeah, that sounds right... but people have had good experiences

Have a niece who years ago applied for a renewal of her US passport.  They transposed two digits on the year of her birth and instead of showing that she was 19 yrs old, her real age, it showed that she was 22. Needless to say she told no one and started using her passport as ID to get into night clubs, etc.

 

Mistakes happen.

Yes, that does make a difference. Now, I have found more info on this. Although I haven't found any concrete answers from reputable sources but check this out:

https://www.quora.com/What-is-IR6-greencard

Someone mentioned that a green card under IR-6 is an unconditional 10-year green card. For everyone's sake, the source I found is not from a 100% reliable source but from other people's opinion or knowledge regarding the existing matter in question. There just might be a possibility that they are correct.

Here's another interesting information that might confirm with my previous comment.

This is from a said attorney on avvo.com:

"...green card says it is an IR6, then you should not need to file an I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions. You should not be a conditional permanent resident."

I did also see all of this online. But based on the time line OP provided. It appears she got married and got her green card before her 2 year anniversary. That makes me wonder if USCIS made a mistake and issued her her Permanent green card as opposed to a conditional one.

True, I would suggest OP should call USCIS just to be sure. However, if USCIS was gracious to immediately give OP a 10 year unconditional gc, that's awesome. They won't have to go through the hassle of filing and waiting for an ROC adjudication..That would be so good to be true Lol

Thank you for the info. I looked through the website and I did fall into the IR6 category. I had H1-B visa before I married to my husband. Now I have a little hope that they didn't issue me the wrong card. I called a couple of lawyers today and they told me different things. I will check with them again next week.

Did you have IR-6 category green card back then?

UPDATE: I talked to two lawyers and they both confirmed that USCIS made a mistake by giving me 10 year green card. They both suggested filing I-751 right away and there is no need to file I-90. That's it. Wish me luck!
