Entry Status

[242Arthenhoj 4]

Hi, 

I have been an LPR as of 11/2018, IR6 status on card.

 

I have been traveling as an LPR since 12/2019.

 

Recently I have been gathering my travel dates for the N400 application.

 

Out of curiosity I entered an expired passport number into the I94 search and I found where in 04/2023 they have my entry status as B2.

 

I have traveled since then and I was stopped by CBP in 08/2023 with no explanation. I’m assuming i was stopped in august because of the status entered in April.  My travels in 2024 were fine, not stopped.

 

My last entry into USA was 01/05/2025 no issues with entry.

 

 Has anyone experience this? Can it be corrected being two years later?

 

 Will this hinder my n400 application?

Entry as B2 when you're LPR is a bit strange.

 

Did you not show GC when entering the US?

Yes, my GC is all I had to enter. That day 04/2023 was the first time I was stopped at a port of entry, they didn’t explain why when I questioned, they just said I was free to go.

 

Then they stopped me again 08/2023, I tried to inquire why but just got forced out of the room without an answer.

I haven’t been stopped since.

 

I submitted a FOIA they said that I need to hand write in a request. I did that, no response. I submitted again last week, the first request is showing as closed.

FOIA takes time.

So you did show GC in 04/2023?

Or where you waved through?

What citizenship do you have?

 

Do you spend majority of time in the US or outside?

Yes, I have always presented/shower my GC to re-enter the USA. Yes, I did show the GC on 04/2023.

 

 There was no special waiver. They asked me to step into a room, before I got to have a seat, they said you are free  to go. I asked why was I stopped, they said write in to inquire, you are free to go. This scenario happened both times 04/2023 & 8/2023.

 

 Currently hold Bahamian citizenship.

 

I work and live full time in the USA. 
 

Between 2019 - 2025 I have a total of 86 days out of the country. Longest trip was 9 days one Christmas holiday, all other trips are weekend 3 day trips.

So Bahamas are in the same camp as Canada, e.g. citizens don't need visa. Looks like a mistake was made automatically admitting you as B2 based on nationality.

 

I wouldn't think this could present a big issue, since it wasn't your issue. You always presented yourself as LPR.

I am hoping!
