AOS after 2 1/2 years of marriage

[elle_1188 0]

I am going to apply for AOS, but I have been married for more than 2 years. My Spouse was a GC holder when I married and becoming a USC end of this month.

So would I be getting a 10 year green card or

should I attach Removal of Conditions form with my AOS package or

should I still have to wait 3 years and apply for removal of conditions ?

Experts please help.......I saw in many places that if the marriage is less than 2 years, you will be issued a conditional GC, but they never mention what happens if your marriage is more than 2 years.

Thank you in advance.

If I am not mistaken you will be issued with 10 years greedn card therefore you don't need to deal with removal of conditions...

Is there anyone with similar experience where a 10 year GC was issued instead of the 2 year conditional GC ?

Do they count the 2 years since my spouse became a US citizen or do they count from when I got married ( my spouse was GC holder then )

Thank you for your advice.

If you've been married for more than 2 years, you will be issued a IR1.

Thank you for the reply. What does an IR1 mean ? Is it the GC for 10 years ? Also i am already in USA as a F-1 student.

Yes. IR means Immediate Relative. 10 years so you won't have to bother with ROC.

Really appreciate your reply. So do I have to mention that i have been married for more than 2 years in the cover letter or they will figure it out ?

If you're adding a cover letter, then sure mention that. Since you're AOS, I don't know if they call it the IR-1 visa since technically you don't need a visa as you're already in the States. But you're adjusting your status to that of a LPR, so you will receive your 10 year GC.

That is awsome. My spouse was a GC holder when applied for the I-130 few years back when we got married. Spouse will be USC end of this month,so i have to send only the I-485 with medical and affidavit to get it done. I will keep you guys updated on this issue. Didnt see many people say if they got 10 yrs GC or not.

Sachin, thanks for the replies.
