confusion on lifting of conditional status
I am sure this question has been asked a lot already but I am quite confused right now and I know you guys will know the answer so thank you already in advance.
I came to the US on a K1 and we had the AOS interview last December (2003). My greencard expires in December of 2005 but the stamp in my passport says my permanent residency is valid until December 2004?! The date is handwritten, did she just get the year wrong? I am quite worried now because I am obviously running out of time to file the papers. Any thoughts?
Thanks! J.

No, she didn't get anything wrong. The I-551 stamp is only good for a year. It is only to tie you over under the green card comes in the mail. You need to apply 90 days before December 2005 date for the removal of your conditions.
