Make an InfoPass appointment. Bring all your forms, I-797 showing acceptance, Welcome to the U.S., marriage certificate etc. They put the wrong date on my wife's GC too. Went to the appointment with all our documents and got a 6 month I-551 stamp good for 6 months as they said it takes 4-6 months to issue new card. Mailed the original card and I-90 application with supporting documents the next day. At least there's no fee as it was their mistake. Waiting on the USCIS again!

THANKSSSSS! THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO PAY $450 FOR THEIR MISTAKE!!!! JEEEZ!

You need to get the card amended. It's actually not a 10-year card, it just has an expiration typo. If she keeps it and doesn't ROC, then her status will be terminated and she will be deported. If she tries to ROC with the 10-year card it will get initially rejected and then with mailing it back and forth you will miss the ROC window and her status will be terminated and she will be deported.

Get it fixed now. She is not lucky, it's not really a 10-year card. It's just a snafu.

You are right! should I call them or is it better to make an infopass? I was reading I also have to file an I90?

You need to inform USCIS of their error. Not doing ROC can cause major problems for your wife.

That's my biggest concern! so if the law hasn't change that means, it was their mistake. Do I have to still call them? Of course I will If I have to obviously, but thank God I've a little bit of knowledge about immigration laws, otherwise I'll be like my wife, just happy thinking about how lucky we are....

yes you can! but I wouldn't go closer to any border!

Hi friends,

My wife came on a k1 visa on January 2013, got married 15 days later and applied for AOS by mid March 2013 . She recently got her GC without interview but for our surprise, it was granted for 10 years (expire on 2023) instead on a 2 yrs greencard (marriage less than 2 years). We were thrilled and happy but later, I though it has to be mistake. My wife (who doesn't know anything about immigration laws) thinks she was lucky, but we all know how the USCIS works and I highly doubt this is right.

She wants me to leave it that way, but I'm very concern about future procedure like removing conditions and her future citizenship process.

Please, somebody help me, did the law changed? is she right or Am I right?

thanks

Robert
