dv2 and conditional gc

[kekakolum]

Hi guys/gals

My question my seem a little bit unusual, but I will start from the beginning.

Two years ago I applied for DV lottery. At that time I was dating my soon to be wife, but since we had not been married, I did not include her in my entrance online. Soon after we got married.

After some time, I received a package from KCC that I had been selected. Since my marital status had changed, we filled ds230 for both of us and enclosed marriage certificate with translation.

After another 6 months or so, we received a letter with the interview date at the embassy. We got our immigrant visas and after another 5 months we entered the US.

Two months after that we received our green cards. Mine is DV1, hers DV2.

Now, my question is : should my wife be considered a conditional permanent resident? (when we entered the US, we had been married for 15 months or so). We submitted all papers as a married couple and went through consular processing as one. At the time of the application I was not a permanent resident nor USC.

We are thinking about having a child right know, and I do not want a problem like that to pop up when she is in her 6th month.

Thanks

should my wife be considered a conditional permanent resident?

no, since it's not a marriage-based GC, but a DV-based GC. She is your derivative, not a beneficiary. Both of you are unconditional residents.

No need to worry. She is not a conditional permanent resident. DV1, DV2 and DV3 are visa classifications denoting, respectively, the principal applicant, spouse and child of the principal applicant. The following link shows all immigrant visa classifications noting which ones are conditional:
