Starting to get worried

[Randy W]

Wait a minute, I just thought of something. Even though I was married at that time (Sept 07) I didn't file until the next year in June. Because of my mother's death and everything surrounding that I didn't get the paperwork done until then so we're really just talking about 2nd anniversary and it doesn't matter when the initial filing took place, is that right?

 

Your 2nd wedding anniversary determines whether you get the 2 year or the 10 year card.

And the determining date is when she enters the country or the date she is approved?

 

Thanks,

The visa is approved first of all. The green card will be awarded when she enters the country, and I believe the date on it will actually be that date.

I see, I guess I was over optimistic that it would take a year and be on time.

I thought even less time when we married (see my timeline below). NOA2 was by far the worst wait period. Good Luck!
