I was issued the immigrant visa under the Conditional Resident (CR1) category, but I will be entering the US for the first time after our 2nd anniversary. Will I get a 10-years green card? (Split and merged)

Closing the loop here for posterity.

Just received a replacement green card in the mail bearing the correct category (IR1) and a 10-year expiry.

This represents a very quick turnaround for the I-90 of only 21 days - I filed it on 29 February and got the card today, 21 March. It helped that I wasn't required to provide biometrics for this I-90 - they reused the biometrics I provided for the previous I-90 on 18 December 2023.

All's well that ends well, I guess. Thanks for your help everybody.

Fill online?

Thanks for the update.  I'm glad USCIS fixed their earlier mistakes so quickly.

Which option selected when I file i90 online ?

I stated my actual immigration status, Lawful permanent resident, and not the immigration status on my then inaccurate Green Card which was Conditional permanent resident.

By the letter of the law, yes they should issue you an IR1 10-year Green Card. However, as you can see USCIS sometimes makes mistakes and issues the CR1 in error. If that happens, you file the I-90 to correct this.

You can't file the I-90 until you've entered the US and the Green Card has been issued.

You should get a 10 year card.
