Hello there, a few questions please;

I read somewhere that if i make POE after the second anniversary date, I'll get a permenant residence not conditional regardless if visa type is CR1, Is that still true?

If so, where can i find that officially written?

And if i had POE a day after second anniversary date, does it work and i would get a permenant residence?

Regards.

That's correct.

Yes it is true. Bring a copy of your marriage cert and point your anniversary date out to the immigration officer at PoE, so they don't forget about it.

You can make POE after you were issued a visa.

As your second anniversary is a week after, when you got approved after your interview, you will be issued IR1 visa which give you permanent residence after you make POE to US.

As long as you have your second anniversary before you enter the USA with your visa, you will have an IR1 visa and get a 10 year green card instead of a 2 year conditional green card.

Because your I-130 isn't approved yet, you will be applying for the IR1 visa when you get to the NVC. :)
