Hmm.

Now I am a bit confused... I entered as K1 too but my GC's category is CF1 not CR6....

It should be CF1... Mine was CF1 as well. For my son (K-2) - CF2

 

 

Shiran, .. Not sure if does matter, but it probably wouldn't hurt  to  check it with USCIS , the category, posted on your green card...

I saw that. It seems sometimes they issue cards under CR-6 instead of CF-1. I agree, CF-1 appears to be "more correct" but ... does it even matter in practical terms? It is a conditional card, so we will have to go through RoC regardless. 
 

@geowrianany thoughts?

You are right - ROC stage is still "unavoidable" 😌

 

I'm just not sure if the category matters.... CR-1  - if you AOSed from K-3 I believe.  But I might be mistaken. Well, will be glad to be mistaken. Really :)  I"d still check it with USCIS.

I can just say that my wife adjusted from K-1 and got CF-1, and those who adjusted from others got CR-6. This is in alignment with the above.

Although it really doesn't matter - a conditional resident is still a conditional resident and needs to do ROC. It would only be an issue if it was IR-6 (no ROC needed).

Thanks.

This is what our NOA2 for I-485 looked like:

So, they are fully aware we were adjusting from K-1, but for some reason decided to assign CR-6 instead of more narrowly focused CF-1. Since she is indeed "spouse of US Citizen" I do not think CR-6 is wrong, though CF-1 is certainly more narrowly accurate. I think we are going to roll a die and let it be. I do not think USCIS would have a reasonable expectation for average person to be familiar with COA codes. We got 2 year card, as was to be expected and that is good enough.
