I-90 DHS Error (2 years card instead of 10 years)
Hello everyone!
I wanted to share my experience in case it helps someone in a similar situation. My marriage-based green card was approved in May 2025. Since I had already been married for more than two years at that time, I was expecting to receive the 10-year card (IR6). However, I received the 2-year conditional card (CR6) ##.
After doing some research, on June 23, 2025, I filed Form I-90 online to request a replacement under the correct category. Along with the application, I uploaded my marriage certificate, front and back of the incorrect green card, and included a short explanation of the issue in the “Additional Information” section. I didn’t mailed the incorrect green card back to USCIS.
On November 4, 2025, I was notified that my new card had been produced, now I’m just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. The process took about four months, which is actually great timing compared to other cases I’ve seen where people have waited much longer.
If anyone has questions or needs help with a similar issue, I’d be happy to share more details!

next step after biometrics
I have seen a few denials for greencard after vawa approval and I am becoming a bit nervous. For all those that encouraged me to go for biometrics and not panic, I want to specifically thank you. That went well. I was hoping if anyone who has gone through same process of second biometrics after vawa approval could comment on what came next after that.
