date format on permanent resident card?
Hi -
My wife's two-year conditional green card expires on "07/04/04". Is
that April, or July? It's important to be correct, as our application
to remove conditionality must be submitted within 90 days of this
date.
Why don't they use a more precise date format? There's room on the
card....
Thanks!

US date format (esp. on all official documents) is always
mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy.
So it has to be July 04, 2004.

Thanks. I think that the statement is too strong, however. My US
passport has the expiration date format of: dd mmm yyyy. Note that
"mmm" is a three letter abreviation, such as "Jul".

Right. For example, the customs declaration form expects the
date in day/month/year format.

Re: date format on permanent resident card?
As a rule of thumb, on every US official document, when the date is
ALL numbers, the format is either "mm/dd/yy" or "mm/dd/yyyy".
When the date uses letters to identify the month ("Jul" or "July"),
each government agency uses its own format on a per document basis
(speaking of lack of consistency).
BTW, outside the US, the most common ALL-number date formats are
"dd/mm/yy" or "dd/mm/yyyy".

And either one is wrong. the ISO International Standard Date notation
as specified in ISO Standard 8601 is yyyy-mm-dd.

Re: date format on permanent resident card?
Ok, stop beating me up for this.
I did not mean to say 'always' in that strong sense. I'll change it to
usually. Happy? :-)
I meant that if a US document is printed in nn/nn/nnnn format, it 'usually'
stands for mm/dd/yyyy, unless there is a good reason for it not being so.
