Dude,

Just looked at my GC and 797 Notice of Action, there is a priority date of 01/23/2006, and my resident since date is 01/18/2005? That sounds my asylum approval date... I am confused.

they gave you a year backdated, that is you only wait for another 4 year for citizenship.

But dude,

They gave me more than a year. I don't want any problem later on.

Whatever they gave you, enjoy it. If they gave you more than a year then it's even better for you.

All right then...

I just did a little search in all forums, and it looks that some people got GC with "resident since" date as their priority date...

They screwed up in your favour, which is nice, for a change. :cool: Relax and take advantage of it!

It looks that they did this for quite a few people. Can you imagine they put your PD in your GC? :D :D :D
 
Hi ernorman

I'll be careful if I were you and notify them of the error. I have read on this forum (I can't remember exactly who posted it) about a couple of people being in trouble for not reporting the error. I believe one was in trouble at his citizenship interview. The IO denied him saying he applyed earlier than he should have (the poster used the date on the GC to calculate the years and the IO was using the correct date.) And another one, I believe said they took his GC away for not reporting the error.

I am not sure which threads I read (it was a while ago), but do your reseacrh and try to find those posts. I am not trying to scare you (or I am not even 100% sure what the law is regarding this), but I know I read somebody's post about this, and i am just trying to tell you to research it further.

Good luck.

Thanks. I did two things: first of all, I call the 1-800 number and the rep told me: forget about the approval notice date and priority date, the "resident since" date is the one they would go by.

I will type up a letter letting them know. But other than that, I will just go by with this date. I did my due dilligence and I am not supposed to know every aspect of this thing. By the way, I don't think there is something in INA about this.

Good luck on your GC.
