It depends. Did you just enter the US? I'm not sure how it works if you came in on a fiance visa...but for my husband who will enter the States in June, he will receive a 2 year Green Card because we will have been married for less than two years when he enters the States. Then, he will have to apply for removal of conditions after two years of living in the States.

Can you tell us more about your situation? Then we might be able to give you better feedback.

Best wishes,

Mary

I've heard that it's entirely up to the adjucating officer as to which GC will be issued - but I think if it were me, I would make an Infopass appointment just to make sure because most people who have been married for 3 years do get a 10 year card...

Good luck!

Hmm....I don't think marriage-based GC has anything to do with when you enter the US. The law was very clear in saying that GC apps based on marriages that are less than 2 years old at the time of approval only qualifies for conditional residency while those that are more than 3 years qualify for the 10 year card. So something is amiss if its accurate that the OP has been married for 3 years at the time of approval and s/he still got a 2 year conditional card. It's worth looking into.

But you're right, the OP needs to provide additional info to get a better advice.
