That's what we originally planned as well, however it looks like you would have to wait 2 yrs until removal of condition or change right away but pay $500..

So right now, I'm trying to have my passport renewed with my married name so visa will also be under my married name, then green card as well.. NSO unfortunately is giving us a hard time.. Hoping everything goes well..

If you fall under CR1 then Yes all will have 2 yrs conditional status till the petitioner removed it.
