You better update it now, USCIS will not take it easy with you if you have a mistake on your greencard and you spot it and you did nothing about it plus trust me you’ll be glad if you do it now and citizenship will be your next step instead of having to do Removal Of Condition again in about 2 years time. The greencard stamp can be installed on your passport page so you can travel and work with it. 

 

With all that being said, it’s your call. 

Thank you a lot. I think you are right.

Thank you very much for your answers. Very helpful. The problem is that I tried the infopass and it says that "This office is not accepting walk-in requests or scheduling InfoPass appointments".

At the bottom of that same page it reads this:

 

If you need help with document services (such as passport stamps and advance parole) or have an emergency, call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283. USCIS representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern except on federal holidays.

 

You can still schedule an infopass appointment, you just need to call them now and request an appointment over the phone as they are removing the online scheduling option.

Thank you! I saw it too, so hopefully will get there very soon.

Do you know any story when people were denied after filing I-90? I am afraid of errors. I am not positive about the process any more.

You have already been approved.  This is just a correction of an administrative error.......there is no approval process.....

You DON'T need to go through removal of conditions. You DO need to file form I-90 for replacement to correct the mistake and get the 10 years green card. As you must surrender your card, you get the I-551 stamp on your passport -that works as a temporary green card while you wait, so you can travel-.

 

Here are the steps you must follow:

1) Schedule an info pass at your local office.

2) Attend your info pass appointment bringing your green card, passport and marriage certificate and ask for the I-551 stamp.

3) File form I-90 and include the 2 years green card in the package. 

 

Again, once you get the stamp, you can travel and once you get the 10 years green card you no longer need to worry about interviews -unless you decide to go for the naturalization-.

Don't put it off too long---the sooner you get it corrected, the sooner you can move on to not worrying about things until if/when you wish to apply for citizenship.

Look what I've found

Form I-90 Denied for Using Wrong Form

Every year many conditional permanent residents incorrectly file Form I-90. Conditional permanent residents should only use Form I-90 to replace a green card (i.e. lost, stolen, damaged or incorrect information). A conditional permanent resident should never file Form I-90 to renew a green card; this will result in a denial.

If you became a conditional permanent resident through marriage to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and your conditional status is expiring within the next 90 days, file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.

And?

 

You're not renewing the card....you are replacing the card.   Even in what you quoted above, it mentions the i-90 is the correct form for conditional residents to use when replacing the card.

Oh yes, you are right.

You're gonna drive yourself crazy if you keep worrying about what-ifs that don't even apply to your situation  ....your i-90 application is quite straightforward since it's due to DHS error.  Get it done as soon as you can; get the stamp as proof of your status in the interim.

Yes! That is true! I'm driving myself crazy. Thank you a lot for your answers.

I've got my GC today but I am very frustrated that its for 2 years. I am married for 3,5 years. My lawyer said that it's supposed to be for 10 years. I have an appointment with him next week! But can't wait to get the information how long it takes to fix it. Guys please if you had that experience, let me know pls.  

As far as I understand, if you’ve been married for 2 years by the time your GC gets approved, you get the permanent GC (10 years) instead of the conditional one (2 years), after 3 years (basically 2 yrs 9 months) of having the GC, you’re eligible for citizenship, as long as you’re still married to USC spouse. Since you have retained an attorney, he should file a i90 to make the necessary corrections to your GC based on the length of the marriage. Good luck 👍🏽🍀
