Hi everyone,

Our AOS interview was this past March and because of a missing court letter our case was delayed until November to continue the processing.

Well after waiting for this court letter to be available we then finally sent it in to Federal Plaza where we had our AOS interview to complete our case and a week ago we got the notice of approval via email and then received the "Welcome Letter" and then the green card arrived.

What surprised us was that instead of my husband gettiing a 2-year green card as we thought, he got a 10-year green card!!! Is it possible to get a 10-year green card before our second wedding anniversary 6 months before the date of our anniversary?

I don't know much about this specific situation, but I can just tell you that the law states that if you have been married for less than 2 years, you can only get a conditional green card, meaning a 2 year one! Your green card can be a mistake and if so, you are still required to file for the removal of the conditions. But double check with some immigration officials!

Good luck

It's happened before, and been recommended that couples still file an I-751 at the appropriate time to cover their bases. If USCIS insists that the I-751 is not necessary, at least you've exercised due dilligence.

mena,

Your 2nd wedding anniversary was 6 months ago - you've been married for more than 2 years for quite some time. (I thought it was only guys who forgot wedding anniversaries!)

Her timeline says 2005-06-10. Two years from then would be 2007-06-10. Am I missing something or is it new math?

fwaguy,

new - and false - math. Thanks for catching and correcting me.

My appologies to all.
