Conditional GC vs Permanent GC

[samsingla]

I am a GC holder (EB1C, PD: May 2016), and we have to appear for my wife's interview next month. We had filed for her i485 in Oct '17, before I received my GC. Since interview was made mandatory by that time, my initial assumption was that we would both appear for an interview at the same time and get the GC together, but I already got mine in Nov 2017 w/o interview. 

Since the original application was employment based, and her i485 was filed before mine was approved, would she get a permanent gc? Also, it is based on IO's discretion or is there a fixed rule for this? We would be married 1.5 years at the time of interview.

Since she is in an employment-based category, she would become a non-conditional permanent resident with a 10-year card. It doesn't matter how long she has been married.

It would be a permanent GC, because her I-485 was filed as your dependent.

A conditional GC is only for people who got the GC through marriage to a US citizen.
