Just got in at JFK airport about an hour ago. The officer stamped CR-1 on my passport. I insisted that I am pass my second anniversary of marriage and he is suppose to stamp IR-1 in my passport. He said that he cannot do that because the visa says CR-1. After a short discussion he said he couldn't and wouldn't change it. What am I suppose to do now?

it will be okay, when the papers get to process the green card, check it to see that you get a 10 year green card.

 

If you don't there is a form to fill out for the correction, provide the I-94 stamp and proof you entered after your 2 year anniversary.

 

you will fill out an I-90

 

there is no cost for this since it is the error when they prepared the green card.

Your passport serves as your Green Card ....The "CR-1" is irrelevant.........You will receive a 10 year Green Card.......

Can I call uscis to avoid the delay in sending greencard back if it is wrong.

There is a 99.99999999 % chance that your card will be correct.......The card is NOT processed by the stamp on your passport.  It is processed by the documentation of your records.......Don't worry.

*~*~*moved from “K-1 fiancé visa process and procedures” to “general discussion”*~*~*

 

He won’t correct the stamp, no one will. The stamp just endorses the visa to show you are now a permanent resident. The wording is irrelevant at this stage as the only people who need to see the stamp (employers, banks, DMV, etc) probably don’t even know the difference between CR-1 and IR-1 anyway. All they are concerned with is that you are an LPR. 

 

The card are should be a 10-year card. Wait and see what comes in the mail and get that corrected if necessary. 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

Wow, that sounds infuriating!

 

It shouldn't matter much in the long run. They will almost certaonly send you the 10 year card, and if they mess it up, it's fixable and not related to the stamp.
