Hello Everyone,

I applied for the GC overseas and reseived I-551, when I got to the US I received my GC, however, when I visited my family overseas I lost my GC. Got a pass from the US embassy and re-entered the US. Now I will apply for the I-90.

in the I-90 form it asked about the following:

1- Date of Admission - Does that mean:
  • I-551 Issue date?
  • when I entered the US the first time?
  • when I entered the US the 2nd time?

2. Port of Admission - Does it mean:

  • In the 1st entery?
  • In the 2nd entery?

Thanks a lot for your help :)

Your date of admission is the date you arrived with your immigrant visa in your passport and were admitted by the immigration officer. That is, your date of admission is the date you were admitted into the US for the first time. As a result, the port of entry you arrived at to enter the US for the first time is your port of admission.

By the way, technically, you didn't receive an I-551 from the US embassy. You received an immigrant visa. Only when you were admitted as a permanent resident by the immigration officer at the POE was your immigrant visa endorsed to function as a temporary I-551, or an I-551 stamp placed in your passport if you arrived before 2003, valid for one year.
