If entry date of the foreign spouse takes place on or after 2 years of marriage, the resident enters as an IR-1, and will receive a 10 year Green Card....no removal of conditions will be required....

I spoke with a custom and border patrol officer and she said she doesn't know anything about that .

It's the law........most do know about it.......My wife entered the US via a CR-1 about 30 days prior to our 2 year anniversary.  The officer said "If you had waited 30 days, you would have gotten a 10 year Green Card."

It doesn’t matter. USCIS issues the green card, not CBP. Please note it is the marriage date, which is the date on your marriage certificate, the date that you legally became married, not the wedding date. No one cares about your wedding date.

Sometimes USCIS makes a mistake and issues a CR1 card instead of IR1.  That mistake can be corrected.

I was told that if you enter the US and you have been married 2 years and your card is a CR1 that you can convert it to a IR1 at the airport.  Not sure if its true but the elders can chime in on this one.

When you enter the US on a CR-1 you don't have a green card yet, when you get it in the mail it should be an IR-1, but as @pushbrk said, sometimes they issue the card as CR-1 and it needs to be corrected.

not up to u to convert

customs and immigration wrote on the date entry stamp  IR1 for my husband

Our visa was also IR1 shown under IV catergory when it was issued

if yours come as CR1 on visa  all the information on marriage date is in computer and should be initialed as IR1 by customs

If you entered after your two year anniversary and receive a conditional green card, you will have to file an I-90, and send your green card and a copy of your marriage certificate. It will be free as it would be classified as an error by DHS. 

 

As the instructions say:

Quote

NOTE: If you believe you were misclassified as a conditional permanent resident, because you were married for two or more years when you obtained conditional permanent residence, file Form I-90 under reason “2.d.” and include a copy ofyour marriage certificate with your application.
