This is smartest -- ask the true authorities.  Relax until then.

So this is what I did yesterday and I was advised to pick “non us resident” and they’ll process my visa right there at preclearance.

This doesn't make any sense at all. If you follow this reasoning, all LPR (green card holders) should tick "non-U.S. resident" because all green card holders travel with their original country passport out and back into the U.S.

 

Most of the answers you have received here make sense. Plus, you have the chance to do Pre-Clearance, so you have CBP agents on-site.

Yeah I have a feeling the agent was just trying to get rid of me cuz they were super fast and initially didn't even respond to my question regarding the visa. I got a phone number for the pre-clearance unit so I'll phone them tomorrow but it seems picking the resident option is the most sensible. I just dont wanna mess this up lol

You've stated you're doing preclearance in Dublin.  As soon as you step foot into the US Customs area, you've technically landed on US soil.  

 

Make sure you get to the airport early so you can visit CBP and have your I-551 endorsed and activated and make sure you've already paid the $220 greencard fee.  

Man I'm so confused now lmao. I even asked AerLingus and they said I should tick non-us resident since the nationality on the passport is what matters. Imma just contact the airport tomorrow and see what they say. I already paid the $220 for the card btw, only thing's left is to fly to the US.

Your IR1 visa contains your Alien#.   Landed Resident.  That will be your LPR/PRC# if what you see in your Registration Number is less than 9 chars, just add zeros.  example in image below 00000473 (8chars); in green card prints as 000-000-473

 

So I should pick Landed Resident despite that I haven't entered the US yet since receiving my visa? I have the reg. number on my visa ofc

I think we are talking about the same thing, you are currently a non US resident, you have an immigrant visa.

Okay that's pretty much what I figured as well. Thank for the help.

You are trying to check in online? Normally the system does not work for that.

Not yet, just trying to fill out the API.

I just recently got my IR1 visa approved and I'll be entering the US for the first time after the approval very soon. I booked my flight with Aer Lingus, however the API is offering me three options regarding passport  or resident status, namely, "US Passport Holder", "Landed Resident" or "Non-Us Resident". Which one do I pick here from the latter of the two? If I choose landed resident, I'm offered to input either an Alien Registration Card Number or a Permanent Resident Card number. I do have a registration number on the visa I've received in my passport but I'm uncertain if it's the same number the API is asking me or no. I was under the impression that I don't become a LPR until I clear entry into the US anyway. I'll be going thru Dublin using the US Pre-clearance FWIW. Anyone knows the correct way to proceed?
