Changing Visa from CR-1 to IR-1

[Loren and Yanping]

Dear GUZ,

Can a CR-1 visa be changed to a n IR-1 visa after a couples 2nd wedding anniversary? If so can this be done in GZ and how long would it take? Thanks Loren

Dear CFL,

 

This should be taken care of by USCIS after the beneficiary immigrates to the US. If the date of immigration is more than two years after the marriage took place, then the green card should be issued with IR status.

 

Sincerely,
