Need help on I-90 please?

[jomuanajohnson]

Hey everyone, I'm new so 'hello' to all. I am 25 years old and was born in the Philippines but came to the U.S. when I was barely 2. My mother has always taken care of my 'citizenship' stuff for me so this is all kind of new to me. I've been a permanent resident for over 10 years now and had my green card lost or stolen about a year ago. I know my green card is expired and am in the process of renewing mine but I have a question:

In part 3 of the I-90 there is the question "Date of Admission as an Immigrant or Adjustment of Status". Now, I know the Adjustment of Status would be the date on the back of my green card, but alas, I don't have one since it got lost/stolen. But what would be my Date of Admission as a U.S. immigrant? Would it be the day I physically arrived here in the U.S.? (I have that answer) OR when our forms were approved back in the Philippines. I was too young to know/remember and my mom does not remember either.

Any help would be wonderful, thanks a lot!

For 'Date of Admission as an Immigrant or Adjustment of Status', you can use the date you were admitted into the US as a GC holder (or the date you arrived into the US)! Which you claim to be having! Use that date!

Good luck

If you obtained your green card via Adjustment of Status, the date to use is the date your first green card was approved, not the date you physically arrived in the US at age 2 with a nonimmigrant visa.

Also, if either of your parents became a US citizen before you turned 18, it is possible that you already have automatically become a US citizen.
