I'm renewing my green card online and two questions have stumped me. One is, when they ask for "On what date did you become a permanent resident?" do I put the date that's on the green card? Where it says "Resident Since: 09/25/96" or is it another date when I became a permanent resident but I don't remember, like two years later or something?

 

Second question is "Did you enter the United States with an immigrant visa?". Well, me and my family came as refugees into America and the category we came into America with was RE6 code, which is for refugees after 1980. So do I put NO because of this, or do I have it all wrong?

The resident since date on your green card.

Awesome thanks for the help. Can you give help on the second question by any chance?

The second question I'm not entirely sure about so didn't respond to that part as I don't want to give you wrong info.  Hopefully others will chime in about that.

I’m gonna say the answer to the second question is NO because you did not enter the US with an immigrant visa.

Right, that's what I was thinking an RE6 refugee status isn't an "immigrant". Or at-least that's how I feel about it. Thanks for the answer.

Right, and when they deny your application and haul you to a deportation cell for lying on your application, remember to tell them that you listened to the advice of some random guy on the internet and it’s totally worth what you paid for it.

 

I am just kidding, kidding, kidding! You will be absolutely fine. Any reason you don’t apply for citizenship? Just curious

I'd call some immigration lawyers and see if one can answer your question over the phone.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

The correct answer is NO.

We can all speculate whether the question has been asked to sort visa vs. AoS cases, but that's not our job, yes?

The question is straight forward, and so is the answer.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

Thanks for the answer! So just to make sure, you're saying when they ask "Did you enter the United States with an immigrant visa?" I should put NO, correct?
