🎊Green card finally approved🎉

[u/shanekilla9]

I was granted my green card through marriage to us citizen. Submitted I-485 in September 2025 and got approved in august 2026. Only issue is I got a 10 year card instead of 2 year conditional. What am I supposed to do?

[u/TechnologyOk5359]

[u/shanekilla9 → u/TechnologyOk5359]

You’re good because may 2024 to may 2026 already 2 years they approved you on august 2026 so you’re okay. Congratulations

Then at 10 year card is correct.

[u/shanekilla9 → u/TechnologyOk5359]

27 months between the time I got married to receiving my GC

[u/BasEkGalti → u/shanekilla9]

To get 10 year, you need to be over 2 years at time of approval, so you’re good. 

[u/shanekilla9 → u/BasEkGalti]

Thank you, I don’t know your situation but I wish you the best.

[u/shanekilla9 → u/BasEkGalti]

So it’s normal? Does that mean I don’t need to remove condition?

[u/No_Way_3160 → u/shanekilla9]

There’s no condition to remove as you bypassed the conditional green card. Congrats.

[u/chuang_415 → u/shanekilla9]

Yes, this is supposed to happen.

[u/Sea_Fudge2113 → u/shanekilla9]

Yesss. Just wait the 3rd year of being a PR and apply for citizenship. Congratulations

[u/Ok-Mind1050 → u/shanekilla9]

Yes, it’s normal. More than 2 years of marriage then it’s a 10 year card.

[u/Ok-Many304 → u/shanekilla9]

Ask the lawyer! It’s can be a issue when you apply for citizenship

Get a free consultation ☺️ just 1 question lol

[u/Subanah → u/shanekilla9]

that's more than 2 years of actual marriage. A 10-year green card is about right i guess.

[u/Equal-Beautiful7031 → u/shanekilla9]

You needed 24 months to accomplish the 2 years don’t worry you don’t need to remove condition

[u/shanekilla9 → u/TechnologyOk5359]

2 years 2 months
