Help regarding I-551 Stamp

[sm2014 0]

Hi Folks,

Visa journey was very helpful during my process of immigration. Now i have a confusion and i am hoping the expert people over here should has its answer.

My Marriage date is 3/1/2013

My POE date is 5/8/2015

But during immigration process they stamp my passport which a stamp " alien has been notified of the provision of section 216 and of the procedures for having the conditional basis of his/her status removed"

Can anyone tell me what does it means ? are they allowed me as conditional resident ? even its been more than 2 years of our marriage ?

Waiting for response.

What is the expiration date on your conditional Green Card? You should file for Removal of Conditions (ROC), Form I-751 to remove the conditions on your permanent resident status. You can send in the I-751 and evidence starting 90 days before the expiration of your GC. Do not wait until your GC is expired.

It helps everyone that uses the forum, or is helped by the forum.

I don't know the answer for you sm2014, but it looks like the OP applied for a CR1 after a 2013 marriage. Arrival was this month...5/8/2015...more than 2 years after marriage. So, I wouldn't think they have a conditional green card.

Wait until you get your hard copy green card and see what it says maybe?

If you do not notify the CBP officers at the POE that your entry is AFTER your 2 year marriage date they may enter the information wrong. Did you notify them? Have your marriage certificate ready?

No i did not told them about that, when he stamped my passport and i did not know what was that. When i read it the officer left. I asked to an other but he just said i do not know.

Yup my marriage certificate is ready.

I am confused on this situation now. i think i should wait for my green card and than lets see either it is conditional or not

Try to go back to the point of entry talk to them if they can fix it. If they can't , once you receive your GC with wrong information, you will need to file the form I90 with your GC, then they will fix it. You shouldn't do remove of condition since at the time of entry you have been married for more than 2 years.

NO you would NOT apply for an I-751. What you need is to fix it. So I suggest waiting for your green card OR, preferably, making an infopass and bring your marriage certificate so the uSCIS knows that you're supposed to get an IR1 not a CR1.

An infopass is an appointment at your local USCIS office.

Al right folks. I would like to thank you for your support regarding my problem. I have received my green card today and it is 10 years green card with status of IR-1. So i think i should not go for removal of conditions now ?

[NikLR 13,220]

No you do not need to remove conditions. You can choose to get citizenship at 3 years (which requires relationship evidence) or 5 years (which does not) or simply renew the green card in 10.
