  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Now I look at it, there appear to be two options here: I-90 or the USCIS Typographic Error form. I previously filed the I-90. When I spoke to the USCIS contact centre today, they said I should file the Typo Form. Their response was very generic (it was clear the guy was literally just reading off the screen to me), so I'm not certain their advice was right. What do you reckon - I-90 or Typo Form? I'm leaning to I-90 even though it didn't work the first time, because really this isn't a typo - they've issued the wrong category of card.
  5. @Crazy Cat - any thoughts on the explanation I am giving in the I-90? Is this sufficiently clear, any other info I should include? Thank you! Please describe the error: I was issued a Category CR1 permanent resident card in error, I should have been issued a Category IR1 card. I had been married for more than 2 years when I entered the US on my immigrant visa. The replacement card delivered 02/26/2024 contained the same error. Date of marriage: [DATE]. Date of entry on immigrant visa: [DATE]. Please enter the correction: "Category" should be corrected to "CR1". "Card Expires" date should be corrected to "[DATE]"
  6. I called USCIS today and have had the case escalated so will have a call with an Officer within 30 days. I think it's likely they will say "just file another I-90", but they might at least be able to confirm that, from my details, I am in fact due the IR-1 with ten year validity.
  7. Yep, I guess you're right. When I saw the letter in the mailbox I was impressed by the quick turn around - opened the letter and...
  8. So, an update here... I received my replacement green card in the mail today, but it is still the wrong category: CR1 instead of IR1. At no point was I asked to send my original GC to USCIS, so I now have two green cards, both of which are the wrong category.
  9. No I didn't, just uploaded a scan. I filed the i90 online. I took my original GC to the biometrics appointment though.
  10. Providing update on my I-90 for @8130093Bo here rather than DM. 6 November 2023: filed I-90 12 December 2023: received notice scheduling biometrics appointment 18 December 2023: attended biometrics appointment Since attending biometrics appointment on 18 December 2023, I-90 case status reads:
  11. We're talking at cross purposes, sorry for the confusion. Per the USCIS website: So, my question is: do I just sit and wait for USCIS to send me this amended receipt notice that confirms a 24-month extension to my GC, or do I need to do something to request it?
