10 year green card error

[pront 0]

I just looked through all the posts regarding the 10 year green card received by people who were married less than 2 years before getting approved and found that most of those who did get such a card didn't tell us about what eventually happened. Can anyone of you who received the 10 year card in error share the results of your communications with USCIS please? Did you remove the conditions after all and did the USCIS accept your i 751?

Can you give a list of people who got unconditional greencard with less than 2 years marriage please. However, I was marriage more than two years when I received my unconditional greencard.

However, yes, of course USCIS will either deny or approved your I-751 application. Obviously, we all immigrants do know about changing status in the US, except you.

You get a 2 year conditional green card in you're married less than two years and a 10 year green card of married 2 or more years. The unconditional (10 year GC) requires the I-751 for removing the conditions on the GC...

There are many cases when people receive a 10 year card when they were married less than 2 years, that's what makes it tricky

If that happens, and while it doesn't happen very often it does happen once in a while, the beneficiary still would have to remove conditions. If he doesn't do it, and at some point his file is reviewed, as it is the case when filing for naturalization, the sh*t hits the fan.

Even though it's not the cardholders' fault, they will hold him accountable. Not filed for removal of conditions = card expired, and so did the residency.

Make an infopass appointment and speak to someone there. or send the card back stating "USCIS error" or something. Like Bob said, might be okay for now, but the ###### could hit the fan later.

Do they make decisions at Infopass and is this decision final? Can they change their mind in the future if they tell you now that you don't need to remove conditions? That's what concerns me

LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY , WHATEVER THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED A TEN YRS GREEN CARD AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR LESS THAN 2 YRS OR YOU HAVE RECEIVED A CONDITIONAL GREEN CARD AND YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR MORE MORE THAN2 YRS. YOU MUST BRING THAT UP TO USCIS. FOR INSTANCE IF YOU RECEIVED A TEN YRS GREEN CARD AND YOU HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR LESS THAN 2 YRS, DOWN THE ROAD YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEM APPLY FOR YOUR US CITIZENSHIP. IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED A 2 YRS GREEN CARD AND YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR MORE THAN 2 YRS , OBVIOUSLY IT WAS A MISTAKE FROM THE USCIS.

THE BUTTON LINE IS PEOPLE WHO ARE MARRIED LESS THAN 2 YRS AND RECEIVED THEIR GREEN CARD THEY MUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY RECEIVE THE 2 YRS CONDITIONAL GREEN CARD BECAUSE EVEN IF THEY GREEN CARD SAYS 10YRS, THEY FILE WILL STILL BE MARK AS A CONDITIONAL GREEN CARD HOLDER WHICH WILL LEAD FOR PROBLEMS TO THEM IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE TO THINK THAT, OH IT'S FINE OH IT'S THEIR MISTAKE ANYWAY, THE REASON WHY THE USCIS IS APPROVING YOU A GREEN CARD IN THE FIRST PLACE IT'S FOR YOUR MORAL BEHAVIOR OF PAST AND FUTURE.

We called USCIS first. They said everything was fine. I didn't trust them. Talked with someone at the local office and they said it was OK. I didn't think they knew very much or really cared. Sent off the I-751 for lifting of conditions with a note about the problem but they returned everything including the check with a letter telling us that we did not need to lift conditions. I am keeping that letter and the complete I-751 package in a safe place just in case there is a problem down the road.

Thats what I am concerned about. They may claim all is fine but their words now may be worthless years in the future when they change their mind and tell you that a mistake was made and you have to pay for this mistake. They are so capable of this!

Did you ask the people at the local office WHY they send 10 year cards to those who were married less than 2 years? Is it covered by any of their memos or regulations and whatnot? There HAS to be some official document that addresses such instances since it happens more often that one might think.

You better double check on that because i did not encountered such thing since 10 years ago when my friend also a K-1 entering here in the US.I Did know that the USCIS giving such approval without processing in the right way????

Good Luck!

Hey Pront, can you give us some more details?

Under which status did you enter the US? K visa? Tourist? etc.

When did you enter?

When did you get married? Have you checked that the right date is on your forms/certificate?

I am curious if there may be some irregularity that has been missed...

There are no irregularities. The USCIS simply made a mistake and sent a 10 year card instead of a 2 year card. Or they may have some secret regulation that allows them to issue those cards despite the marriage being less than 2 years old. I just would like to be sure that if they reject my I 751, they will not hold their own mistakes against me in the future, which they are famous for.

And surprisingly, this happens quite often judging by what I have seen
