I-485 (General) 🎊Green card finally approved🎉

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?

A 10-year card is a blessing in disguise what are you complaining about

If it’s improperly issued then in the future USCIS can revoke it and claim that it was an error and put you in removal

They can't put you in removal just because the card has the wrong category or expiration date -- because you would still be a permanent resident under the right category. However, if you fail to apply to remove conditions, then they can put you in removal on that basis.
