10 year green card following AOS approval for K-1 visa

[Mike and Atitaya 0]

My wife received a 10 year green card after being approved following our I-485 interview.

Has anyone else received a 10 year green directly after being approved for AOS? We are very happy, but we were warned by other filiers that we were supposed to get a 2 year conditional green card first following an AOS for the K-1 visa (and then we would file for the 10 year green card). Should I consider going to the USCIS website (infopass) and request to set up an appt to talk to someone to confirm we have the correct green card or should I not stir the pot up? I don't want to risk my wife traveling in 2+ years and then being told she can not return. On the otherhand I don't want to lose a 10 year green card because I questioned it.

Thanks for any feedback.

We got a 10yr GC on our AOS from K1 also. I have seen other people on the site get a 10 yr card also from a K1. I posted the same message and was told people have had this happen and when they went to apply for citizenship was denied because they never removed conditions. I searched this site and never found anyone having that problem. Just to be on the safe side, I called USCIS and inquired if my wife was listed as a permanent resident or a conditional, they pulled her up in the system, and said she is not a conditional resident, shows she has a 10 yr GC and is listed as permanent. So I just stopped worrying about it.

Thank you for your response. I'll ask the USCIS if she is listed as permanent or conditional.

Hi,

I got the same problem with my green card. just received my green card in the mail today and was surprised to see that the expiration date is 09/16/20 and resident since 09/13/10, which means I got a-10 year green card, right?

My husband and I just had our AOS interview last Sept. 13, 2010.

Don't know if I should get worried or celebrate instead.

If you guys have been married for 2 years or longer, they issue the 10-year green card.

I would recommend, as a paralegal that has worked for the government, to contact them to ensure you received the right card. They have a saying in the legal world here... playing ignorant is no excuse. You will be upset if this is found in the future and risk your spouse being sent back to her country. Be sure to get the info in writting as well. Verbal does not go far.
