I read many posts that said they adjusted from k1 visa and their greencard category is CF1

CR-1 maybe?

 

CR-1 holders don't remove conditions because they're married for over 2 years when they got GC.

 

CR-6 holders have to file I-751 to remove conditions within of their 2 year card expiration

 

No issues

probably has something to do with this question on the I-485

some people get a rejection (before payment is processed, so not an outright denial) for not picking the right one (spouse vs fiance) others dont.

that might be why some K1 greencards say one over the other.

 

but as olduser said, shouldn't be an issue for ROC

CR-1 is obtained by those who gained a Green card via a spousal Visa (married less than 2 years when becoming a legal resident).  CR-6 is obtained by adjusting status (less than 2 years of marriage when becoming a legal resident).  There is no  difference as far as removing conditions.

I think you meant IR-1. CR-1 visa holders do have to remove conditions if becoming legal residents prior to 2 years of marriage.

Yes, good catch @Crazy Cat

I meant IR-1.

CR-1 is visa.

CR-6 is category on GC after somebody adjusts status in the US.

 

Thank you for this correction.
