CR6 conditional card on Approval Notice — But Married Over 2 Years! Did Anyone Still Get 10-Year Card?

Hey everyone, I had my I-485 and I-130 interview on the exact day of my 2-year wedding anniversary, and my case was approved the next day. when I was 2 years and 1 day married. But the approval notice says CR6, which is for conditional green cards. I thought I’d be getting an IR6 (10-year green card) since we hit the 2-year mark on the interview date and got approved the day after not on the spot. I haven’t received the physical card yet — just going by the approval notice. Has anyone else had this happen? Did you still receive a 10-year card even though the notice said CR6? Or did you have to file an I-90 to fix it? Any insight would help. Thanks in advance!
