CR1/CR2 to IR1/IR2

[NewDay2006]

Lao po has been told by the "famous 001 ladies" that if you are married 2 years prior to your wife and child entering the U.S. it is no longer routine to have your CR1/CR2 green card automatically changed to a IR1/IR2 green card.

 

Has anyone heard of this one way or another?

Yes - it's written in the INA. Pretty well set in stone that you will get the 10 yr card

Thanks Randy, 2 questions.

 

Since NVC still has my petitions as CR1/CR2, what point do they get changed to IR visas ? At Guz or POE ?

 

I guess I actually have 3 questions,.... what country is your flag from. I recognize 2 obviously......

GUZ should notice and change it to an IR-1 on the visa. If they don't, make sure to have your marriage certificate and point it out to the IO at the POE. If it still sneaks by, they should still mail the correct green card to you.

 

I'm not sure which one you don't recognize - it's either US or China. The third one is obviously Texas, but I'm sure I don't have to point that out.

I must visit Texas one day... seems there are a lot of colorful characters there.
