I read the OP as saying that the GC received has a 2 year expiry date .. therefore the “ system” will be looking for an ROC application.  So there is a contradiction in the system which will eventually be sorted out .. the crunch will come if the I 90 isn't processed by the time the system is looking  for the ROC .. and the OP no longer has either a current GC or an extension letter. 
 

@Edddie&Beatrice.  I think filing for ROC will just muddy the water.   Get an appt at the field office .. take the GC, the I90 NOA, your marriage certificate and at least get the  I 551 stamp 

Sounds good. I am wondering what happens if I am denied the 10-year green card? which I filled to get via i-90. or it is not possible to be denied.

@Lil bear it all depends whether he was rightfully issued 2 year green card or not. If he should have received 10 year GC, he should definitely NOT file I-751.

- Waste of money

- Takes 2 years

- Can mess up his immigration file

 

I-90 and I-551 stamps is the way to go.

Sounds good. I am wondering what happens if I am denied the 10-year green card? which I filled to get via i-90. or it is not possible to be denied. 

You are right it is a waste of money and time plus interview and all the work that goes into filling.

I will not say never but if your dates all line up…. there should be no issue 

 

Its also not just a waste of time and money, it actually adds to the confusion and contradiction and is counter productive to your I 90. 
 

 

According to your timeline you were over 2 years at entry.

I am sure my dates add up. I hope i hear from them soon so I will not have to do anything else. However, if I do not hear from them, I will have to find a field officer...

 

I appreciate everyone's response. 

I will update if anything comes up.

@mindthegap can provide some insight here. 

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.

I am now in this same situation. Wife entered March 2024 and received CR1 instead of IR1. I immediately filed I90 and now have "We scheduled biometrics". It's scheduled for Aug 30th

 

But you're telling me they wont actually send the CR1 until TWO YEARS later?

It depends.  It might be much sooner.  After waiting for a couple of months after biometrics, you might involve the immigration liaison in your Congressman's office.
