Hi everyone...i was just wondering why did i receive conditional residency status?

Question

We've been married for more than 2 years... should i be receiving 10 yr green card instead (IR1)? please help...thank you...

Answer 1

when you applied you were married for more than two years? if not that is why.or maybe the USCIS officer decided that you didnt show enough proof and gave you a conditional one.dont worry, all you have to do is go down 90 days before the 2 years and apply to remove them.

Answer 2

You get a conditional green card first.  After two years, you can petition for removal of the conditions and if approved, get a permanent green card (legal permanent residence).

Answer 3

If you filed *before* your two-year wedding anniversary then you would have received a conditional resident green card.

Most people who are close to that two-year mark generally wait until it as passed for this very reason.
