two months ago, we have to file I-90 to replace the card which was erroneously issue to my wife, conditional instead of the 10 year card. We are still waiting for result.

incase you wanted to know the back story.

We got married back in June of 2008, we filed AOS in April 2010. We had our interview 3 Days after our 2nd year anniversary. USCIS gave my wife the 2 Year conditional green card. No big deal.

Just before 2 years (2012), we applied for the I-751 just as instructed. My wife was called in for biometrics around February 2013. Then called in for a second interview around March. Interview went well, along with our 4 year old son.

[ Juicy Part of the Story ]: Around June, we got a check for $590.00 in response to a "Service Error". Check the case with no new information. Got an infoPass, talked to the Officer and he said, the case was been "Administratively Close" as of march 2013. Started calling the #800, talked to a lot of them including a boat load of "Second level" officer.

1 officer said, well this was a mistake thats why they sent you back the money ( Approve or Denied, USCIS does not issue refund ). She told us to submit I-90 base on the following facts.

Married for 2 years at the time of AOS interview.

I-751 has been administratively close

I-751 fee was returned.

For the last month of so, i been bugging that #800 almost daily today, a friendly officer has expedited our I-90 due to the fact that the temporary extension letter (issued during the I-751) has expired back in march.

My husband and I called the USCIS and spoke to several officers who told us to file the I-90 and send the card back. We did as instructed. Two weeks later we received an email stating we should return the card for they had made a mistake in issuing us the wrong GC and it should of been the two year one with removal of condition due in two years. The email stated if we return the card to the provided address he would be issued a new one within two weeks. We responded that we had already sent it back per the advice of the USCIS officers we had spoken to.

When my husband called USCIS last week, he was told that it would take 6 months for them to issue a new one. They are so messed up!

They made the mistake and now we are as usual paying for it by having to wait yet again...The positive side of things is that he has a visa for two years in his passport and that is sufficient enough for now until we receive the new one.
