Hi guys,
Should my residence start date be backdated by a year on my GC ? I am a little bit puzzled here , the section "residence since" is the same as my GC approval date. How can I get this corrected?
Your advise will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!!
You are correct. Your card start date should be backdated by a year if your LPR is based on asylum.
This is USCIS administrative error. You should apply for a replacement card with an explanation. The adjudicator who issued the approval might be new and doesn't know the procedure/SOP's
You have to be careful because a replacement request might re-open the case again depending on the circumstances and the case.
