Hello all,

Here's a question that I was thinking about...maybe someone has an answer for this or has been through the same situation.

Marriage date - March 2006

AOS filed in October 2007 (less than 2 years or marriage)

Completed 2 years of marriage in March 2008

AOS still pending, not approved yet. When it is approved, will my wife be issued a 2 yr. or a 10 year GC?

She is on a K3 visa.

Any input is appreciated. Thank you all!!

Thanks for the expedited replies guys....glad to hear that it will be one less step to remove conditions.

Now the wait for AOS to get approved and completed.

Good luck to us all that have been waiting patiently.

At the interview, I would make sure to ask the officer which card is it: 2 year or 10 year. I've heard of cases when applicants got the conditional green card even though they passed their 2 year marriage anniversary.

My wife & I filed about 5 months prior to our 2 year Anniversary. We had our interview about 2 weeks before our 2 year marriage anniversary.

Our Interviewing officer was very nice and held the approval of our application for 2 weeks so we could qualify and be approved for the 10 year green card.

Since you have been married for 2 years you will get a 10 year GC

Hi

Did you apply for an EAD so you could work during the intervening two years? If this is possible I think I would rather just wait for the two years then adjust status so I immediately get the 10 year GC.
