?'s about the I-90
Hi All
I am in the process of filing the I-90 due to my original card was issued with the wrong Resident Since date. However on the form under Part 3 Processing Information it asks Date of Admission as an immigrant or
Adjustment of Status, I am aware I didnt arrive as an immigrant so that doesnt apply to me but Adjustment of Status does. How do I know what date to put here? I am thinking that it should be the date I was approved, which should be my resident since date on the card however it is wrong,but I am not sure, if someone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated. My "new" IO says it would be advisable to change my card so I don't run into any issues when I apply for citizenship in a few years.Also do I should I enclose a cover letter with my I-90.
Thanks all for your advice
Have a great day

Might not hurt to have a cover letter. Let USCIS be the ones to either read it or not.

Hi Rene
Thanks for verifying what I thought. With USCIS you just never know so I figured to get others inputs would be able to help. Ironically I will never forget my approval date as it was on my birthday...lol. Thanks again

Re: ?'s about the I-90
The two dates are close to 2yrs apart. Card reads Resident Since Feb 13th 2006 (original reciept date) an my actual approval date was Jan 30th 2008.
Hi Poppy
I am hoping I don't wait too long too but only time will tell. Had one friend wait only approx 2wks the other friend waited over a year so I guess we will see.
Thanks all for your responses

Re: ?'s about the I-90
It seems to me that this is in your favor. I've no idea what was suggested beforehand, but I would suggest filing to remove conditions (if you're required to do that) at the appropriate time, and then filing for naturalization at the appropriate time. I wouldn't bother trying to fix your card to show a change that is 2 years more recent (I can certainly understand if the error was the other way around).

Hi Ian,
I am not required to file for removal of conditions as we had been married 3 1/2yrs when approved so I was one of the lucky ones to get a 10yr card. I plan to file for naturalization as soon as I am eligable which is 3yrs minus 90 days an I believe I need to add any days to that were spent out of the US but not sure about the adding the days. After consulting with a couple immigration attorneys, senators liason, an my actually "new" AO officer who approved my case all them suggest to fix the card so I don't run into problems when I do file for naturalization. I am not to worried about not having my card on hand with me as I have my approval notice an I don't plan to travel home for another couple years and I don't work and have no desire to work so no need to show an employer my card. Thanks though for your 2c worth.
Have a great day.
Kat
