Question on Physical card

[GC Guy]

Hi,
My I 485 got approved on 9-June-05.

When I received PR card, I can see Permanent Residence since date as 9-May-05. Almost a month before the actual date.

Is this an issue I should follow up?

thx
Sunil

Only if you have nothing better to do, if you are looking for trouble, and if you do not want to become a citizen one month earlier.

What is the problem here?

actual approval date and residence since date on card vary - please help need advice

Got my Green card after a long wait of 12 months after approval , all excited about it and opened it and saw that residence since date on card says 11/9/00 but I got my approval in 2004 .Called Uscis explained the situation that I have applied for GC in 2000 but approval was in 2004 and Customer service representative said if it says 2000 then you are residence since 2000.
