Hi!
Just got a notice for I-485 interview but the date is 16 days before our 2nd wedding anniversary. What kind of green card -temporary or permanent - do USCIS issue when the date is close to the anniversary. Is it strictly over 2 years of marriage to get a permanent one? Well, it costs about $200 to replace the conditional one. Would anyone answer my question, please? Thanks.

I will post my time-line pretty soon. :)

Well, in theory, if you get approved on the spot (no delays, no namecheck pending) then you get the conditional green card and have to file I-751 21 months later.
But another poster (Addie) was in the same situation and the IO kindly delayed the approval until after the 2-year anniversary so his wife could get a permanent GC.
If your marriage is clearly genuine (as I'm sure it is) and the IO kind enough, then you could ask him/her.
Otherwise rules say you're gonna get a conditional GC.
