2 year green card or two year green card

from your experiences

when do you get the 10 year green card .

My husband was approved for his green card at the south africa embassy two weeks before we hit our two year anniversary. But he enter the U.S. like two months after our two year marriage anniversary’s.

i am getting mix answers some said he’s getting the two year conditional since it’s on his passport cr1 and the approval was before the two years . others saying since he enter the US after we were married for two years he gets the 10 year green card .


so does he get the 10 year green card since he enter the U.S. after we were married two years ?or two years start the date the embassy approve the green card ?

Mod hat off

 

It goes by the date he entered. As he entered the US 2 months after your 2 yr anniversary he will get a 10yr GC. Now it is possible they will mess up and send him a 2yr card but then you would get that corrected.

If he entered the US after your 2nd wedding anniversary he should receive a 10 year green card.

Based on your story your husband should in fact get a 10 yr GC even if his visa was classified CR1.  If for some reason he receives a 2 yr GC, he will need to file an I90 and get it corrected at USCIS’s expense.

 

Good Luck!
