People under “IR6” or as spouses of USA citizens may be eligible to apply for naturalization after 3 years as permanent residents instead of the usual 5 years. A “CU6” Cuban may also be able to adjust the status of their after-acquired spouse and children, even if they are not Cubans.
As you can see, these codes are important. To find out your code, look in the center of your green card under the word “Category”, look at the code and find your match under this list. If you believe your card has an erroneous code, it is very important to request that USCIS correct the code. Antonini and Cohen can help you ensure your green card accurately reflects your status.
