Hello, 

My spouse and I will be married for two years August 17 2022. I had my visa approved on June 2 2022. But the visa category they gave me is IR1. SO, now I'm wondering if that's a mistake since our marriage is not two years old yet or what.

Please can someone give me some clarifications?

Wait and enter after 19th August 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

If you enter the US before your two year anniversary. Then you get the 2 yr conditional GC. If for some reason you get sent a 10yr card you must get it corrected as you entered before your two year anniversary. There is no wiggle room, they made a typo on the visa but that should be caught when they go to print the GC. If not it is up to you to correct it.

Irrelevant to anything.  The length of marriage at the time of entry into the US is the only factor.
