Hi all

 

My husband and I were married in Jan 2019 and filed for I130 visa abroad.

The I130 has been approved at NVC stage and waiting to be sent to local Embassy. 

I know that a 10 years validity of Green Card will only be issued if we have been married for more than two years at the time our permanent residency is approved. 

 

Can I ask, when would the exact approval date be? Is it the date when I have completed the interview or when the Green card is being issued to me or when I travel to the US with my visa?

 

We are hoping to delay our interview nearer to our anniversary so that we can get a 10 years Green Card.

 

Any help is appreciated!

It is the date he enters the US that is important. So as long as his visa is valid through your 2 year anniversary he can wait and enter then and get a 10 year GC.

Ok, so I just want to confirm again.

Our 2nd anniversary is 14 Jan 2020. So if the first date I (beneficiary) arrive in USA with an immigration visa is 15 Jan 2020, I will be granted a Green Card valid for 10 years right?

yes
