If adding a spouse to pending I-485, will he/she receive a conditional green card or normal one?
We married 9 months ago. The I-140 is approved and I-485 pending. Waiting for priority dates to be current. Adding a spouse will entitle him/her to conditional green card of unconditional one?

Your spouse will get the same type of green card that you would be getting, which is the unconditional green card on the basis of an approved I-140 for you from your employer. The conditional green cards are for spouses who have been married for less than 2 years when they get the green card but for marriage based cases, not employment based cases.
