After five years of waiting, I finally received my assylum-based greencard. But it is not back-dated, it is actualy dated the same date that the GC application was approved . Is it a mistake and I need to send the card back or is it normal? :mad:
 
Good Question! Would be interesting to get an answer on that. Especially after waiting 5 whole years! :mad:

Dear Kashayar:

It is a mistake. You should call uscis and let them know the mistake.

First of all , congratulations. Approval is a big relief. And yes, your GC has a mistake with its issue date. But I hear it does not take long for people to get a new correct card.

Congratulations with our approval! I understand your frustration - you must be an old-timer, like myself. Take it easy - fill out I-90 form and indicate that you request a replacement card due to the USCIS administrative error and you do not have to pay a fee. Good luck! :) What's your timeline?

Sorry, Dumb question; what is the back-dated ? ( What date shoud be on the card?)

dadash:
The date on the card should be one year before of approval date. For example I was approved on March-16-2006 and the date on my card is March-16-2005.
