Wife Received Green Card This Week

We received my wife's green card this week and it was great to know that step is behind us. Funny thing though, when I looked closely at the card it has an expiration date of 02/26/17. Looks like we got the 10 year green card for some unknown reason. She only arrived last March 29th, and we were married on June 3rd. I had expected a 2 year conditional card and not the 10 year card. I can't imagine that somebody at USCIS could make a mistake.... LOL.

I think I will give this a little time and then maybe later this summer I will make a phone call to the misinformation line and ask for their advice...

Perhaps I will just assume this "legal document" is correct and we will live with it.

Just when you think you are finished with USCIS for a while something else pops up.

You should post this "issue" on the main boards. I remember reading somewhere else that this mistake does occur. However, I believe you might still have to do the I-751 and remove conditions, as the printing error might not match what they have in their filr, and at your second anniversary you might still receive an order of termination of conditional residence and the commencement of removal proceedings for not lifting conditions 90 days prior to the granting of permanent residence.

This is not a 'wonderful mistake' unfortunately. It does happen occasionally, and the legal types advise that you are responsible to file for Removal of Conditions on schedule regardless of what date is on the Green Card.

You can search these answers and find the outcome by reading posts from SecretGarden here: http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdispla...prune=&f=35

The same thing happened to them--all worked out in the end, but they did file I-751 on time.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. If you are married and wait to file for almost two years and your card is issued after you have been married for two years, then they issue you a 10 year card. At least that is my understanding. If you are married and file and they adjudicate your case before you have been married two years, they issue you a 2 year card.

Have a great day.

I would still act like if it is a 2 year greencard and do the necessary removal of conditions to be on the safe side, because you have been married for under 2 yrs. It's kinda hard to convince the government that they made a mistake, besides you are aware they made the mistake, that means it is your responsiblity to fix it.

BTW: Congratulations, on getting GC!!

But how am I to know it is a mistake? The green card clearly states an expiration date 10 years from now. It's a legal document, isn't it? I have to wonder about the first group of people that started getting green cards without interviews. I wonder if they were so quick to call USCIS and complain that their cards were issued without an interview and it must be some kind of mistake. It seems the "rules" are changing all the time.

Of course I will call at some point and see what they want me to do, but I think you can see my point.

I can see your point, it is just that this whole process has made me very weary and careful, and it makes me feel like I do not trust all information received by them because they do make many mistakes.

I am glad you have GC in hand, I think that is when I will be better able to inhale a little easier. Best of luck to you, both.

Well, "Everyone is supposed to know the law." I agree with others, you should be careful and ask, would be too bad to have to file tons of papers just because administration made a mistake...

A few people here saw a thread I wrote about our "unpleasant infopass appointment" when our AOS case went past the processing timeline. The officer looked on the computer and then told me "oh, it's only been a little over 6 months. All green cards are taking 18 to 24 months. You have a long wait yet. Go home and wait for at least a year." I told him I thought he was wrong as I knew that most cases were now processing 2 year conditional cards in 6 months time or less, or at least getting a notice of transfer or interview date. They guy went off on me and lost it. He yelled, and asked me if I thought I knew more about immigration than him! Certainly left me with the impression I should not question their actions or decisions.

*shakes head*

This is a no-brainer, people.

Follow up on it.

They made a mistake but at the end of the day, a person's immigrant status is their own responsibility, not the responsibility of the US Government.

Fix it now before you have to fix it in an expensive removal hearing (in which you would probably prevail but - eh - who needs it?).
