You'll need to get that fixed then first. They did not give her the right stamp. She should be an IR1 not CR1. He only paid attention to what was written on the visa, which happens if you don't mention anything about being married over 2 years at the POE.

I think you've confused the CR1 and the IR1.

You have up to a year to pay the fee. It just delay's getting your actual green card until it's paid. The endorsed visa in her passport howerver acts as a temporary green card which allows her to get an SSN and work if she wants. It also allows her to travel outside the USA.

I'm confused. CR-1 immigrants CAN travel outside of US w/ no problems whatsoever (within the 2 years of their conditional residence)?

Yes yes they can! The conditional aspect of their green card has nothing to do with travel or working. It is just to show that people with young marriages have entered into the marriage in good faith and with good intentions, not just for a green card.

The only problem with spending too much time out of country is you need to maintain residency. But normal vacation travel is fine.

I think for citizenship at 3 years, you have to show 18 months physical presence in the US.

The CR-1 visa with the stamp above it in the passport is the I-551. You can get a SS # with just that about 2 weeks after entry. You DO not need to wait until the greencard arrives.

Our office told us to come back with the green card. So I tried, but they wouldn't issue it with out the green card.

Then you needed a supervisor. The DMV here tried to pull the same thing, but I persisted and eventually the next day they gave in.
