Re: Almost time to file N-400 but confused about dates
That makes sense and I’m sure the information I’m giving is not entirely enough for anyone to really know exactly what’s going on. I appreciate your thoughts and input though.
It was a welcome letter but unfortunately they never sent it to me. I know from the filling of the I-90 the lawyers attached all info including photocopy’s of my spouse green card and approval letter was included with his October approval date.
The response from USCIS after a year waiting was:
"...USCIS records show that your date of entry is June X 2015, The date of notice November X is not considered an approval date..." and thus im not eligible for a replacement card.
A very odd reply considering I was already in the US and didn’t enter but was in L2 status since January 2015 and now adjusting status.
It’s not that I need to apply for citizenship but I would like to stay with my spouse and keep living in the US like I have for the last + 4 years :-(.

Thanks for the input seems like the reasonable thing to do and see what happens.

Another clue looking at the actual card is that the expiration date is November 2025 rather than June 2025 as would have been the case if June was indeed my residence date. Had it not been for the odd I-90 denial it seemed pretty obvious that it was a printing error on the card but who knows other than USCIS.

A bit frightening that the possibilities range from me not being a PR at all for the last couple of years to just an “innocent glitch”. I might as well face this issue now (in a month or two initiating the application) than in 5 years when my green card is up for renewal.

Your posts are exacerbating my sense of professional paranoia. You may want to have experienced immigration counsel examine your case with a fine tooth comb including obtaining a copy of your DHS file.
Odds are you are fine. But there appear to be questions.
