If you entered the US prior to being married for 2 years, you will still have to ROC!!!  If you get a 10 year card by mistake, you still have to remove conditions.  If you don't, it can result in BIG problems...

You should contact USCIS and get a 2-year card.

No they should not.  They were married for more than 2 years at time of entry.  The CBP incorrectly wrote CR1 on the OP's passport.  Probably because the visa was a CR1.  The OP should be receiving an IR1 green card.  If they do not they should send it back with an I-90 and request one.

My wife entered the US on June 22nd.  Our 2 year anniversary was on Jul 30th.  The CBP officer at POE told her that she would have stamped IR-1 if she had waited until July 30th to enter.

Where yall married in July 30th 2015 or 2014? Forgive my ignorance, but if its 2015 the time your wife entered the US is less than 2 years.

Hi everyone, I entered USA last month with my CR1 visa. And my marriage has been more than 2 years when I entered. I alerted the CBP officer about it, but he refused to stamped IR1 on my passport, and let me sign the paper that I would need to remove my conditional green card status next year. Apparently, this was a mistake he made, is there any way that I can fix it? 

i am not sure but i think i replied to ur other thread when you posted the question (right after your entry).  Wait till ur physical GC to come.. that should have IR (if you are eligible) . I shared my issue in last post.

 

If you still receive CR in GC too then you may want to contact USCIS for rectification.

We married in 2015..She entered as a CR-1.  If she had waited until Jul 31, she would have entered as an IR-1...

According to the facts., the OP entered the USA after being married for two years not before.  If the stated facts are as they are, he is eligible for a 10 year card

YMMV

Thanks.  I guess if someone is in the process of getting a spousal visa and near their two year anniversary they should wait it out and plan to enter after the anniversary as long as it is within the validity period of the visa.

Yes! We timed ours so that we had been married just over 2 years when I arrived.
