I got confirmation of AOS approval for my spouse about a week ago, but wasn't sure if it was for the conditional or permanent resident status. I got the paper NOA and it stated it would expire in 10 years!!!! Our case took a really really long time. Issued a few RFE's after our AOS interview. The entire process took us 1 year and 10 months.

The letter stated that the card would be mailed to us, but the last photo that USCIS took was for the renewal EAD card back in March 2015. Would they use that picture or do we need to go to our local USCIS office and retake the picture?

It will be a ten year unconditional green card if on the day of the I-485 approval you had been married for at least two years. If you hadn't been married for at least two years then this is a mistake, and one you should correct lest it come to bite you in the backside down the line.

Biometrics, once captured, are valid for 15 months. If USCIS has valid biometrics on-file then they will use those for the green card itself.

I know. On the day of the I-485 approval, we had been married over 2 years.

And okay, just wanted to make sure. But if the biometrics are good for 15 months, why did they have to retake for the renewal EAD? we renewed way before the 15 months.
