CPR after 2nd anniversary
Does anyone know where I can find the law regarding recieving a green card
after the 2nd wedding anniversary? My GC is dated 7/9/03 and my 2nd
anniversary was 6/30/03. Being over two years, shouldn't I have recieved a
10 year card rather than a 2 year card? I know to fill out form I-90, but I
wanted to cite the law as well.
Thanks,
KR

The law might not work in your favor if you are a K-1 recipient. Margaret and my husband both had examiners who like the regulation that K-1 Fiancee Visaholders canNOT become PR regardless of whether they are married 2 years, 3 years or 10 years. According to that law, they can only be CPRs.

I don't know if it matters, but I was not a K-1. I entered the US as an F-1
(student) and adjusted status after marriage.

Yes that does matter. However be very sure that your case was approved after your second anniversary and not before. We had thought we were approved on September 28 and our anniversary was September 26 but lo and behold, thanks to Mr. Udall, we found out we were actually approved on August 11. That quashed that PR status down to CPR.

Re: CPR after 2nd anniversary
After many days this still has my head spinning. so the law says K-1ers can never become citizens? surely I must be missing something. so the path for a K-1 to citizenship is what?
Or do you naturalize by going from CPR to citizenship?
If this is a common practice it is certainly an important factor in making the K-1 vs K-3 decision.
Can't be done, file an I-130, that doesn't make sense either. Is this "law" commonly enforced. It was in your case apparently.
