"Permanent resident since:" date wrong?!?

[rovingeyes]

Hello,

My wife and I finally received our I-485 approval notices and official greencards recently via the EB2 category, with the I-485 approval date as 10/19/2006. However, the "Permanent resident since:" date on the cards shows as 10/19/2003, with an expiration date of 10/19/2016.

Does anyone have an idea why the "Permanent resident since" date is not the same as the I-485 approval date? FYI, my LC Priority Date is May 2003 and my I-140 was approved on 2/11/2005.

Thanks,

Suman

Same thing happened to me. My PR since date for my family based GC was listed on the card as the date I sent my application in, not the date of 485 approval 6 months later. I went to the local DO to check the date and both times they said it matched what was in the computer. My attorney said to leave it. I dont know if it will create problems when I come to apply for citizenship.

While in my Green Card (obtained last year) the "Permanent Resident Since" reflects the correct date, 2006, in my wife's card which she received yesterday, the date is since 2000. Since all the other data is correct, we are not worried about this little thing. As long as, we wait 5 years before applying for citizenship, I do not see any problem.

Did you travel with the card with wrong date? Any problems crossing the border? Thank you.
