Hi everyone! 

 

I just want to have a clear thoughys about my dilemma. 

 

We have received a welcome email from NVC with instructions to pay fees and submit docs. I noticed that my application was classified as CR1. I have read from forums that CR1 is for couples who are married less than 2 years. IR1 is for couples who have been married for 2 years and above. 

 

My situation is, our marriage will be 2 years by next month. In the middle of all the petition procedures. Is the 2 years of marriage based on the time we have submitted our petition or by the time that the Principal Applicant entered the USA? Is the visa class be updated or we will retain as CR 1 even if we celebrate the 2 years of marriage? 

 

Any thoughts please. 

 

I hope all of you are safe and healthy!

Your Green Card will be based on the length of the marriage at the time the visa holder enters the US.....If married for 2 years or longer at time of entry, the new immigrant will receive a 10 year card.

I believe its POE in the USA. Your visa will be IR1. No need for adjustment of status.

Such a great help! Thank you! Stay safe!

Adjustment of status?  Nay, nay.  Removing of conditions 

YMMV
