CR1 to IR 1

[BabyJetz 1]

Does anyone know if I was first CR1 (less than 2 years married) and now I’ve been married for 2 years now, how does it change in NVC system to IR1?

also what’s the point of priority date if it doesn’t pertain to CR1/IR1?

Thank you

u married 2/ 24/20 so if u arrive in the US after 24th of February 2022 , the iR1 is what your US stamp should say at customs   / that's a 10 year green card

 

if you are already here and just have not completed your timeline,  you CR1 and 2 year green card 

 

For CR1 the PD :

The date establishes one's place in the queue for a family-sponsored or employment-based or permanent residency permit (also known as "green card") application.

For a spousal visa, the date of arrival as compared to the wedding anniversary date is what matters.  Even if the printed visa in the passport shows CR1, if the immigrant enters the US after the 2 year wedding anniversary, they are entitled to an IR1/10yr GC.  It is not a bad idea for the immigrant to mention that to the CBP upon entry in case they miss the dates, so that CBP puts the correct endorsement stamp in the passport.

 

Good Luck!

both his visa was labeled IR 1 under visa category right hand on visa page and the CBC officer wrote IR1 on his entry stamp

Because CR/IR visas are not numerically limited the way family preference visas are.

Really a moot point.  IR1 is both a visa and a status. You want an IR1 status and ten year green card.  It really doesn't matter what any visa or database says before the green card is printed.  It makes no difference.
