Greencard swiped at the POE?

[pittsburgher]

Hello,

Does anybody know if greencards are always swiped at the POE? I remember one time (and one time only) when the officer seemed like she was scrolling through a list on her computer, and then stamped my passport and that was it. I don't think she typed-in any info or swiped my card. This happened back when fingerprinting for permanent residents at the POE was not required.

Although I have a stamp in my passport, I am worried that my entry might not be recorded electronically, which may cause problems (for example during citizenship application).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The stamp in your passport is proof that you returned, so hold onto that passport!

That should not cause a problem for you. If there is a mismatch between tw odifferent dates, then there is potential.

What do you mean? What two dates?

Since departures are not recorded, isn't there a risk that it would look as if I was out of the country for 6 months, when in fact, for example, I had two separate short trips that are 6 months apart?

Imagine a scenario (not yours) where there in an CBP entry stamp of 2/14 but the green card scan of 2/13. That may cause an issue. I was imaginig a scenario. Does not apply to you.
