Received a Letter today from Center Director

I don't know if this ever happened to anyone before but My Husband's case (I-751) was approved on Jan 12, 2011 and he received his 10yr green card Jan 31, 2011. Today I received a letter in the mail from the Center Director at USCIS stating that after reviewing our records, our case was incorrectly admitted or adjusted as a conditional permanent resident. Instead my Husband should have been admitted or adjusted as a permanent resident without conditions because our marriage through which he gained conditional residence status was entered into more then 24 mths prior to his admission or adjustment.

Therefore USCIS is terminating action on the Form I-751 and refunding our filing fee. This termination does not affect his permanent resident status.

He should be receiving a new alien registration card showing the correct immigrant classification. You are not required to take any further action.

I was so shock while reading this letter. I always did question why my Husband was giving a 2yr Conditional Visa when we were married approx 2yrs from the time he had his interview during the I-130 processing. We were off like 5 days. I was saying to myself wow these people are really something else. So it appears while filing to remove conditions someone or something spotted this and took action. I'm glad USCIS was willing to acknowledge their mistakes and are taking the proper actions to get everything rectified and more surprisingly refunding us our I-751 Filing Fee.

So just a heads up if anyone was married for atleast 2yrs but was granted a CR1 instead of an IRI. Investigate it, Inquire about it. It may just save you the hassle of going through all of this.

Bless

Wow.. that's great. Congratulations!!

yes the conditional residence is awarded to those who were married less than two years on the date of the adjustment of status. This is mentioned on the I-130's instruction guide. It is also advised for those persons/spouses who were approved at the consulate and have less then 6 months prior to their 2 year anniversary to WAIT until that time has passed. The Immigration Officer at the Border may not have noticed and SO the applicant / alien can kindly tell the officer so they can submit the request as IR1

Yes I'm surprise as well about the refund. It hasn't come as yet but I'm definitely looking out for it.

Are you f*cking kidding?

You knew they made a mistake and you still didn't get off the couch and went through all the hassle with the I-751 and paying the money instead of grabbing the phone and making an infopass appointment? Are you serious?

That's like being accused of murder, then going to jail for a few years without saying anything and when the DNA evidence later causes the case to be reopened to say: "crazy . . . I always wondered why they locked me up; after all I didn't do it."

[KittyPollitt 284]

Wow, that's almost as amazing as the IRS finding a mistake and sending you money back. Awesomesauce.

Get this straight Bob. I did inquire about it, just didn't go as far as info pass because we were told the CR1 is what we're suppose to get. When my Husband went through POE he questioned the officer because I told him to ask shouldn't he be getting an IR1 instead of the CR1. The officer in his own words responded " He cannot do anything about it" I also called USCIS prior to POE and the rep told me that the marriage had to be atleast 2 yrs at the time of the interview, even though we were 5 days off. So with that being said we thought that was just the requirement and they were really strict.

So what is it exactly......you had to be married 2 years at the time of the interview, or at the time of POE to get the 10 year green card? Either way, congrats!! That's awesome, and money back too:))

It actually happened to me once. My accountant missed something, and 9 months later the IRS sent me a check for $600. Which ironically, was more than I paid the darn accountant.

Wow, that's a bit harsh, don't you think? Not to mention just plain rude...
