Wrong dates on my Permanent Resident Card???

[BeHappy 0]

I applied for conditional Green card in 2005 and I received the approval in 2006. On that card said "Resident since: 08/03/2006" I still have a copy of that green Card and the original of the approval letter (I-797, Notice of Action, Welcome to the United States of America) with Notice date 08/04/2006.

I applied for "Removing Conditions on Residency" in 2008 and I received my new Permanent Card in 2009. On my new card says "Resident since 04/20/2009. "

Is this a mistake?

Shouldn’t be "resident since 08/03/2006" the date I became conditional permanent resident based on my marriage with an American Citizen?

Would be a problem with my Naturalization file due to the date ( 04/20/2009) on my new Permanent Resident card?

I would appreciate any help and any advice!

Thank you,

6 is an upsidedown 9 so not too much of a mistake. Can only wonder if the USCIS keeps records as they always want you to bring in what they sent to you. It's an error, better contact them and get it corrected. You will pay for their errors, one way or the other. May be long delays.

File an I-90 indicating that there is an error on your card. Send a photocopy of the original card along with it as evidence that they made a mistake. It takes at least six months to get it fixed.

I just checked with a friend who just renewed his GC, and he said that his is dated from the first date of residency. Make a copy of all your documents and the current GC and send a letter to USCIS. Call first to get information regarding the correct location or look at your letter that you recieved with the GC for the address to mail correspondence to in the event of any errors. Keep a copy of your records.

If memory serves me right, the I-90 has instructions regarding errors and what to do. All the best.

Make copies of both the front and the back of the incorrect green card before you send it back.

If we were in that situation, would ask the USCIS, since it's their law that we must carry a green card wherever we go, how can we do that if we have to send it back to you and wait six months?

With that crazy I-751 thingy, had to carry an expired green card with the one year extension notice, neither was good without the other.

Thank you all. I think I'll submit an I-90 first. Next I'll attache at the naturalization file a copy of the I-90 form aand the postal receipt and an explanation why I sent back the Green card? Do you think this would work?

File I-90. As its an error on the part of USCIS, it wont cost you anything.

You let two weeks go by and didn't do anything about it yet?

File for naturalization as planned and attach a copy of the I-90, who knows, you could even become a citizen before the I-90 is even dealt with. DONOT wait.
