Conditional permanent residency: does it apply to us?

[sashitaski 3]

Here is the situation. We have been married for just under 1.5 years. I just filed the I-130 through DCF in Moscow. I am expecting my husband to have his interview in 2-3 months. However, we do not plan to go back to the U.S. until summer, of course within the 6-month time frame he has to go in. I have to go back a month before our 2nd wedding anniversary to finish my MA degree, but the plan is for my husband to come over a month later, that is, after our 2nd wedding anniversary. Now I'm trying to figure out if he will receive conditional permanent residency, or not? If everything goes as planned, his interview will take place BEFORE our 2nd anniversary, but he will only enter the U.S. AFTER. I have read conflicting information on different sites. For example, here http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=i130faq it says "...unless the couple has been married for two years at the time of the interview." But here http://www.***removed***/greencard/familyba...-residence.html it says "...on the day you were lawfully admitted to the U.S. on an immigrant visa."

I'm confused! So is it that we need to have been married two years on the day of the interview or at the POE? I thought it was POE, but now I don't know anymore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

it is based on the age of the marriage when the greencard is issued..... for your situation, that will be the same date of first US entry for your spouse... if that is after 2 years, then a 10 yr card will be issued

Tell him to remind the IO at his POE that he's been married for more than 2 years.

I'll do that..do they often forget to check?

They just often need to be reminded of their own laws.

I was told at POE that I had a 2-yr GC and needed to remove conditions on my second wedding anniversary. When I asked the Customs and Border Patrol officer if he meant the second anniversary minus 90 days of my entry to the US, he had to look it up and found I was right.

Good to know. I will definitely make sure my husband reminds the officer.
