Hi guys. I recently received my green card in mail. I am married to a green card holder for past 1 year. But the category on my green card is f26 with a green card for 10 years. I believe that I was supposed to receive conditional green card for two years but I have a received a non conditional one for 10 years. Is there a mistake or that’s how uscis is doing things these days?

Congratulations if you got a 10 year green card. Now you don't have to worry about removing conditions. Normally if a marriage is less than two years they usually get a 2 year conditional green card. I dont know if its valid for only IR or CR1 categories and not for F2 categories. I tried searching it on Google but no luck so far. Hopefully some one else will come up with an answer

It's a mistake. File I-90 and check (D) as the reason for submitting (My existing card has incorrect data because of Department of Homeland Security error). That filing reason is free to file.

OP received wrong card. INA 216(h)(1) is very clear: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1186a&num=0&edition=prelim
