I am married to a US citizen and applied to Adjustment of status from a visitor's visa. I am working with a work authorization.
I had the interview with my husband and everything was fine. They said I will get my card within 30 days; and i dont have to do any more paperwork for almost 2 years.
After I have that card, what is my status gonna be? is a temporary green car i think for 2 years.
thanks

You will be a "conditional permanent resident." After you have been married for two years, you may apply for your "permanent green card" by filing an I-751.

The card you will get is what is known as a 'conditional green card' - it expires in two years.
You can apply to have these conditions removed by filing Form I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence. You can find this form on the website below - bookmark if you wish for future reference.

The earliest you may file to have these conditions removed is 90 days prior to the expiration date of your conditional green card, but you cannot file a single day before or a single day after your conditional green card expires. Only during that 90 day period.
Oh and you asked about your status?
You are now a permanent resident of the United States.

Yes it's a conditional green card. You are considered a permanent resident :) Congrats!!
A misconception is that you get those conditions removed after you have been married for 2 years. That's not so. It's after you have been a permanent resident for 2 years.

You are a Lawful Permanant Resident (LPR) or Green Card Holder as of the interview date which you got approval. After 2 years from your LPR approval and still married to your spouse, you can apply to remove your "Conditional" status. Welcome!

conditional permanent resident. After 2 years you will get the conditions removed assuming all is well, when you file.

I don't know the answer to your question, unfortunately. I would like to say, however, that if anyone starts in with racist remarks about immigrants I will report them. I can already see this getting ugly, please keep it civil and answer her question if you can.
