Yes, it should be. Be sure to specifically mention to the officer that you have been married for more than 2 years.
On occasion, this happens... and there is nothing you can do about it except to submit the paperwork to lift the conditions 2 years later.
Either way, you are a US permanent resident with all the privileges and responsibilities that entails.

If you enter after the second anniversary of your marriage and are still given conditional status, you can correct it by filing an I-90.

I'm with Ian on this one. I wouldn't leave the area until I was sure they stamped it as an IR1 in the passport and on the cover sheet of the brown envelope. Ask for a supervisor if you have to.

Have your wedding certificate handy so that you can prove upfront that you are past your anniversary.
While I realize the certificate is in the brown envelope, at least you can whip it out quickly to verify your declaration.
