My conditional green card never issued.Then,When Can I apply for US citizenship.

[Caryh 5,206]

You really don't understand the process. You had an AOS interview in February 2014, right? Nobody who has an interview for AOS becomes a LPR before the interview. You became a LPR on the day of your interview. You need to be a LPR for 3 years (minus 90 days) to be eligible for citizenship. You have not been a LPR for that amount of time. They'll take your money and deny your application.

He just doesn't want to hear the bad news. He feels screwed by USCIS, and he probably was, so he wants some other way to justify getting citizenship earlier. Its not going to happen of course, and everyone with any experience knows it, but he doesn't want to hear it.

Back to the disinformation line

Given the time frame he filed to adjust status, I wouldn't be surprised if his petition was misplaced and it wasn't until his congressman inquired that they went searching for it. AOS applications were totally overloading USCIS at the time, and many waited over a year. But it doesn't really matter, when they issued the green card is the date he's stuck with, together with all the others that waited longer than normal back then. His isn't the first, nor will it be the last case, where USCIS misplaced a petition for a couple years.

Oh yes, I'm sure that's what happened. I'm just leaving open the possibility that he was approved a few years ago but USCIS issued a green card with an incorrect date If that's what happened, he should have them resolve the issue, but I expect that the date is correct.

Chances are it's correct as he had an interview and the date on the green card is the date of his interview.

Yep. You're right.

[Shub 78]

I forgot there was an interview somewhere in the mix. So yeah, then the date on the card is correct and there's no way he can apply in December of this year.

He would not have been called for an interview then. He's likely assuming his EAD approval was his green card approval. If he has the actual welcome approval letter though, and the green card did not show up, he certainly should be bringing this up. But there would be no need to call him in for an interview, or issue him a card.

Me_Theo go to the USCIS case status page, enter your case number for the I-485, not the EAD or AP case number and tell us the status.

https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard.do

It should say

Your Current Case Status for Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

With the card production dot filled in

followed by

The USPS reported that your new card was delivered on "Date of Delivery", directly to the address we had on file. The USPS tracking number assigned was 91019

You permanent residence status started shortly before that date.

The category has to do with on what basis you got your Green Card, not the visa you entered on. For example, if someone enters on K-1, gets married and gets a Green Card before 2 years of marriage, they'll get category CR1/CR6 on their Green Card, but if someone enters on an F1 for example, then gets married to a USC, files for AOS and gets a Green Card before 2 years of marriage, they'll get category CR1/CR6 on their Green Card, too!

No. Tha tis not true.

You can search in internet to find the list of all catogory .Many kind Catogory you will see in the list. By k-1 visa (married) it is not "CR1/CR6"

Mine is " lF1" by k-1 visa (married)

Then .i think will not bad if some of you guys for 1% think may be you'r wrong or may be i am 1% right. thanks.

CR1 or IR1 has nothing to do with your K-1 visa.

CR1 means you are a conditional resident, i.e. your green card is valid for two years. Your green card says IR1 because it's a 10-year green card. Again, it has nothing to do with being a K-1.

Had your application for adjustment of status been approved before your second wedding anniversary, your green card would have said CR1. Then you would have applied for removal of conditions and you would have received a card that would have said IR1 instead of CR1.

The "IR" stands for "Immediate Relative".

See, the problem is - that category - which has been explained above by Shub is really irrelevant - as it has been 100 times said in this thread only relevant thing is date on your card. Had you been given CR1/CR6 card and then IR-1 card (like I was), the date would have remained exactly the same on both.

I just makes no sense talking to you as you completely fail to understand this process. Go ahead and apply, just make sure you come back to report what happened.

My bad, your status is IF1 because you were a fiance visa. If your green card had been approved before your 2nd wedding anniversary, your green card status code would have been CF1. None of that matters for naturalization, though.
