My friend do you receive your green card?

Let me know

Yes it's cr1. I sent it back with form I90 and a cover letter and supporting documents

Hello. It's been years since this process so I don't remember all the details but we sent the greencard back and he was issued the correct IR status. The process took less than a month. Hope that helps.

Thank you so much. Yes this helped!

Thanks for your information. I did want to call and see what could be done over the phone but I was under the impression that speaking with the officer at the Infopass was the same as speaking with someone on the phone. It seems as though my call would have still been too late as the greencard was issued on August 30th and I didn't realize the stamp in his passport was wrong until Sept. 7th. I'll be submitting the I90 tomorrow and once we get the receipt, we'll be scheduling another Infopass to have his passport stamped that an actual greencard has already been issued.

Hi, I'm in the same boat. How long did it take you to get the correct green card?

So, did you get the correct one?

I got the green card yesterday and unfortunately it's the cr1, so I will have to file the i90 now. Does anyone know what documents we should attach with the form and the incorrect green card?

Hello friends, here's an update:

On 11/04/2017, status changed to card is being produced. It stayed like this for a month. 

So on 12/04/2017 I called teir 2 customer service and they made an inquiry to explain why it's taking so long. Teir 2 told me that the card production was interrupted for some reason so he made the inquiry.

On 12/05/2017 the officer responded to the inquiry and the next day it said inquiry is completed. 

On 12/12/2017, it said "on 12/12/2017, we ordered your new card to be produced. 

On 12/14/2017, it says new card was mailed to me. 

I am hoping it's the ir1 so I won't need to file I90 and wait for another forever.

I don't receive my green card yet. I did my driver's license and they check with immigration and they give it to me for 8 years. Does that mean my green card is going to be for 10 years? Because somebody had told me, if your green card woud have been for 2 years, your driver's license would have been for 2 years too. I need some explanation from you guys please.

That's completely irrelevant!! 

Update: 

It's been more than a month since the last notification of card production was received. I called teir 2 USCIS customer service and he said that the card production was interrupted for some reason so he made an inquiry to see why it was interrupted. 

Question: could that be due to the previous inquiry the officer made (cr1 instead of IR1) and now they're catching it? What could the other reasons be? 

On the online profile on uscis it says "we will notify you if your document cannot be produced and provide any instructions".

Don't you receive your green card yet?

 

Let me know

Not yet. Still says "card is being produced". What about you? Did you receive the card?

 I paid for my green card overseas two weeks before coming here. Listen Do i have to call USCIS to get everything fixed? My son stamp is IR2.

I don't know much about IR2 or if calling them would help. I called and I'm crossing my fingers to see what green card I will receive. Try to call though, it doesn't hurt. They can make an inquiry to correct it if it's not produced yet. They made an inquiry for me but I'm not sure what happened behind the scenes and whether or not the officer saw it. All I'm doing now is waiting.

even if I get the incorrect card, I can file form I90 with the incorrect card to get the correct one. 

Good luck to you!

I don't receive my card yet but I am going to call USCIS to inform them about the Situation. You stated that you came to the US on August 29, 2017 and you haven't still received your green card. It's been 3 months since you haven't received your green card. You were supposed to receive it within a month. Didn't you pay for it?

I paid 2 weeks after I arrived but it's not the problem. After you arrive you're supposed to receive your green card WITHIN 120 days. That's the notion you'll get from USCIS. Some people get it sooner (still within 120 days) and a few get it later.

What happened? Do you receive your green card? What does it mention? Is it a 10 year one. Let me know cause I am in the same situation as you are.

 

Thank you

No not yet. I'm still waiting for the card to arrive. On 11/04/2017 I got a notice that the card is being produced and it should come within a month from then. 2 weeks went by and I'm waiting. I'll update you once I receive it. 

Did you get the incorrect stamp? Can you update me about your card too please?

Again, incorrect info "It's based on how long you are married when you become an LPR. You become an LPR upon entry at POE via an immigrant visa". No it is not, it is based on how long you have been married at the time the visa or permanent resident green card is issued, or in the case of a K1 visa who filed Adjustment of Status it is based on how long you have been married at the time the permanent resident green card is issued. I personally know people who came to the US on a K1 visa, waited a little over 1 year after marriage to file Adjustment of Status, by the time their permanent resident card was issued 1 year later it had been 2 years since married thus they received a 10 year green card without having to file for Removal of Conditions.

Differences Between IR1 and CR1 Visas

• IR1 (IR stands for "Immediate Relative") Visas entitle their holder to receive Permanent Residency within the United States for a period of 10 years (may be renewed)
• CR1 (CR stands for "Conditional Residency") Visas entitle their holder to receive "Conditional" Permanent Residency within the United States for a period of 2 years

The deciding factor on which visa an applicant is issued (IR1 versus CR1 visa) is the amount of time that they have been married at the time the visa is issued. If an applicant has been married to their US Citizen spouse for a period of two years or greater they will be issued an IR1 Visa. If they have been married less than two years they will be issued a CR1 Visa. A CR1 Visa will result in the applicant obtaining "conditional" permanent residency within the US and after a period of two years the applicant can apply to "Remove Conditions" 90 days before the conditional permanent resident card expires and they will be issued a regular 10 year green card.

Thanks for your comment. I think what you're saying may not be 100% correct. I took a photo of what the embassy gave me that is attached below. I think it means from the time being married to the time I'm admitted to the POE.

I knew there would be dirt in the way, so I'm not totally surprised. Thanks for your comments

Either exactly 0% or 100% based on if they make a mistake or not.

No mistake: 0%

Mistake: 100%

That's the type of answers I was looking for! You're smart.

No one can answer that question.  We don't post odds here.  Hope for the best.

Neither do I throw dice. My question is clear and can be answered by someone who knows the answer. Or someone who had his passport stamped with cr1 after 2 years marriage and whether she or he received the 2 ir 10 years green card. I'm not looking for statistical analysis.

The passport POE stamp was CR1 because your visa is CR1, it doesn't matter if you entered the US after your 2 year anniversary there were no mistakes it is not based on when you entered the US. In regards to your permanent resident green card, if the card is ISSUED prior to your 2 year wedding anniversary then you will receive a 2 year green card, if the card is ISSUED on or after your 2 year wedding anniversary you will receive a 10 year green card. In your case as far as I know, since you have been married 2 years or longer AND your permanent resident green card has not been ISSUED yet, you will receive a 10 year green card once it is ISSUED. If they issue a 2 year green card then make an appointment at your local USCIS office to address the mistake and request they re-issue a 10 year green card due to mistake.

That's very helpful. Thanks a lot!

according to several post here at VJ, you can go to your nearest USCIS office and they can correct it in case of any mistake. But you are right you should receive IR1 instead of CR1

 

Thanks for your comment. I understand that I can correct it in case I receive the wrong one. But I was wondering what are the chances that they'll give me the wrong one at the first place.

same situation like ur ... we entered USA 10 days before 3rd anniversary .. however, was stamped Cr1.

 

didn't care much coz for us being home was important. But when i got GC (physical) a 10 year IR 1 GC was sent

Good for you!! 

It's easing to hear that, because it's not fair to be shackled with the paperwork when you don't have to. Thanks for your comment!

Look at the visa foil in your passport. Was the 'IV category' CR1 or IR1? Was the date of visa issue ('IV Issue Date' field) before or after your two-year anniversary?

It's' a CR1 visa but I came after our second anniversary. So even if it's a CR1 visa, since I came after 2 years, I am supposed to have the IR1 status, regardless of the visa category.

Just now, JFH said:

I would wait to see what arrives in the mail. If it's the 2-year one then you will need to get it changed. But I have seen this happen before where the wrong stamp was put in the passport but the paperwork was completed correctly by the officer and the correct green card was received. You won't know until it arrives. Mistakes happen - this one is easily rectified. 

Thanks a lot! That's a bit easing. I spent too much time dealing with the paperwork and I was expecting to have a good break after receiving the IR1 GC.

Hello all, 

I have been married for more than two years and at the POE my passport was stamped with CR1 instead of IR1. At the USCIS website, it says CARD IS BEING PRODUCED. What type of green card will I recieve? the 2 years or the 10 years gc?

I called the customer service representative and she said I'll probably get the CR1 since that's what the officer stamped my passport with. Does any of you know if that's true? For me the idea of my gc being messed up because of a mistake an officer made doesn't sound right. Aren't they supposed to look at the huge envelope I gave them in order to determine what GC type I am eligible for? How long does it take to correct the gc I have by filing I-90 till I finally have the correct one?

Thanks for your help.

Nothing important.  The inquiry is on record.  They'll deal with it when they deal with it.  I expect you are on the right track already.  They really don't mess this up very often.

 

Thank you so much!

If you receive a conditional status green card, file an I-90 with no fee, return the green card with the filing and they'll correct their error.

I called the uscis and they said my greem card hasn't been produced yet so there's a chance we can avoid the problem. He told me he will notify the uscis and that they will follow up with me. 

Tonight when I checked the status online, at the bottom of the screen it said: 

 Can you please tell me what that means? 

Thanks in advance! 

Thank you so much! 

So it's the packet, and not the stamp, that dictates whether or not I will be receiving the ir1 green card? 

If so, I should be receiving the 10 years green card. If not, I'll file the i-90... Fingers crossed!

Thank you friends
