How does the period of validity of a Conditional Green Card being calculated?

[htsf 7]

If a immigrant comes to the US on a CR1 visa (Less than 2 year anniversary) and going to be issued a Conditional Green Card, how does the period of validity of the conditional green card being calculated? It is 2 years from the immigrant's port of entry day to the U.S., Or it is 2 years from the immigrant's marriage date?  I am really confused about this. Thank you so much for helping clarify this.

Age of the marriage on the day of entry

Thank you for your answer! I know that if it is less than 2 years of marriage on date of entry then it is the conditional green card, but I want to know what is the validity period of the actual conditional green card?

The CR-1 visa holder becomes a legal resident when he/she enters the US.  That date becomes the "residence since" date...the Green Card is valid for 2 years after that date.

An immigrant entering on a CR1 visa will actually get two green cards (sort of).  When they enter and CBP stamps their passport with the visa, the immigrant immediately has a temporary GC for a validity period of one year.  After that, the physical GC should arrive in a few weeks and the Resident Since date should reflect the entry date, and if a CR1, it will be valid for 2 years from that date so the I751 should be filed within the 90 day period preceding that date two years out.

 

Good Luck!

So the validity of the conditional green card is the 2 years from the port of entry date, right? Thank you again for your warm help!

Thank you so much for your such detailed explanation! I was very confused, and I thought the conditional green card validity period was counted from the first day of marriage to the 2 second anniversary.

It's a 2 year conditional residency,  not a 2 year conditional marriage

The 2 years from date of marriage to entry date into USA is what determines a CR1 (2 years visa) vs IR1 (10 years visa).

 

The correct answers about the CR1 2 year timeframe has been answered multiple times above in this thread.
