Hello, everyone! I have a question - while we were waiting for approval of i-130 and so on our marrige had our 2nd year anniversary. Yesterday we got an email regarding the appointment for the interview. But in order to do that we have to chose the category of the visa. Do we have to select CR1 (as it mentioned at the i-130) or IR1 (because last week we had 2nd year anniversary)? Kind regards, Nataliia

Something really weird happened. My wife passed her green card interview in Guangzhou, China on March 31, 2015. She was qualified to get the CR-1 on that date. Her immigrant visa is dated 3/31/2015. We entered the United States, San Francisco, on June 23, 2015. We were told when we entered the US that we had to file the I-751 90 days before the second anniversary of her entrance into the US. They attached a form to her passport that clearly says she entered the US on the June 23, that said the same thing. Her green card also says that. In other words, we would have to file the I-751 after March 25, 2017. HOWEVER, on December 6, 2016. the Department of Homeland Security sent us a letter, saying, "Our records indicate that you entered the United States as a conditional permanent resident (CPR) on (3/31/2015). As provided by Section 216 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, you must file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, within the 90 days prior to the second anniversary of the date your were granted CPR status...." Okay. So which date should we do? If we apply too early, that is a problem. If we file too late, that is a problem. To file between March 25 and March 31 is the safest, but because of other circumstances, not easy to do. Anybody else experience this same problem? If the one computer system of the Office of Homeland Security that says 3/31/2017 is the cutoff date, is the same one that would cancel her green card, we probably would have to find an immigration lawyer, right?
