The IR-1 and CR-1 are the same visa, an Immigrant Visa. It is the length of time married at entry to the US that determines your immigration status. If you have been married less than two years you will have conditions on your Permanent Resident Status and will be granted a two year green card. You must then apply to have this condition removed within 90 days of the two year anniversary of your entry to the US. If you have been married two years or more on entry you will be granted Permanent Resident status with a 10 year green card.

Adjustment of Status Forms

USCIS and Department of State forms are linked directly to their websites and their most current forms.

PLEASE NOTE!!! Until a new form is released, a form is current, regardless of any expiry date on the form. The expiry date on forms is the OMB expiry date, it does not mean the form has passed its use by date. (OMB = Office of Management and Budget)


Most of the forms are fillable. Download them directly to your local computer, rather than fill out the form through your web browser. In order for most users to do this (using a Windows PC), "right-click" on the link to your specific form and select "Save Link As" (in Netscape) or "Save Target As" (in Internet Explorer)

As per USCIS, all Immigration forms may now be printed from the USCIS Website without any special printing requirements (such as head-to-foot, using specially-colored paper, etc.). However, using a dot matrix printer is not advised.

You will need the latest version of the free Adobe Reader to use these forms. You may download the Reader HERE.
