GC approved and backdated question

[taydawgg]

Got the welcome notice and then the green card next day. NSC seems moving fast now.
I haven't received any email notice yet.
Interestingly, they used my asylum approval date as my resident since date, which is more than 3 years backdated! Should I call to correct it?

I would just bring it to their attention and let them take care of it. Keep records of the call if possible.

I hope they have changed the law and using asylum approval date as resident since date

That would be great, yeah? I was hoping for the same too since this is the second post in a week about this (from 2 different people)

Really, I have not heard anything about this... I wonder if this law is retroactive...i.e. can I do it if I already have a green card based on asylum...

I don't think it's a law. It's just wishful thinking. I hope it happens though

I hope the law has been changed. (I wish).
Because, visit tne USCIS web site for FAQ, Refugee/Asylee asjustment of status.
They changed the requirments and procedures.
1. No more G-325 / Biographic Info. forms requires with asylee adjustment applications.
2. Medical forms should be filed with I-485. No need to wait untill they call for it.

If the law has been changed we are eligible to become US citizens.
Am I wrong?

they make a lot of mistakes....

last time i got back in the U.S. (coming from canada) the immigration officer used a machine to stamp (on my new I-94) the date i was returning, and the date he entered says year 2099 - meaning i entered the country in the distant future...



go figure

I don't see the link between the fact that asylees don't need to send their biography anymore and the date on the Green Card. we've seen two cases recently when folks received their GCs with the date when asylum was granted on them; but it could be just a co-insedence.

I would file for citizenship as per the date on GC. They will not figure it out, you would not do anything illegal and the story ends there. Just to make it smooth, I would go to some midwest state and apply there.

When you apply for citiizenship, they pull your I-485 and related documents out of storage to verify that the information you provided on the N-400 is consistent with the records they have. Most people just get an RFE if the info does not match, but if they catch you in a lie, there is a slim chance that they could deny you citizenship simply for having an immoral character.

Get the date corrected.

Agreed.

Taking advantage of the system will not be in your long term interest.

usually the procedure don't go that way...If an immigration officer found backdating mistake ..he just denied the case.
double check ..your friend got to be refugee.

Hello guys

Let’s clarify something: once your asylum is approved and you’re eligible for the GC and once approved it is always backdated from the day you were originally granted the asylum status.
An asylee for immigration purposes is considered as an permanent resident from the moment the asylum is granted, unless he or she is precluded under the immigration law. Therefore, a GC derivated from asylum is always backdated.
I hope this clarifies the issue

best way is to play with the rule:asylee backdated one year..refugee backdated from day of entry.
anybody have a mistake ..he need to fixed...otherwise he may wise his time/money applying for citizenship.
Good luck.
