Question about Green card

[clueless_in_usa 8]

Gary,

I simply could ignore you, and perhaps I should, but here's my response.

...

What you or Serge or Alla do is entirely up to you. I really don't have a duck in this hunt. From now on I will not respond to questions coming from you again. For me it's not worth my sanity.

It is comforting to see that I am not the only one. I was feeling like an aberration.

Personally I don't think it is a problem. He should have a Ukrainian passport that would answer any questions of nationality while traveling. Since he also has a valid Green Card it is also obvious that he is a legal US resident too.

My wife's old Green Cards state that her country of birth was the USSR even though it no longer existed when she we applied for residency after we got married. My stepdaughter's Green Card states that her country of birth is Belarus even though she too was born in the USSR in 1985 even before Belarus existed as a stand alone country. My wife and stepdaughter went through AoS and removal of conditions at the same time on the same form because we filed my stepdaughter as a dependent child. My wife's US passport now has her country of birth as Russia since she became a US citizen quite a while ago. She was actually born in Russia, but took Belarusian citizenship when the USSR dissolved because she was living there for several years when that happened. Why the change in her country of birth? It would take a bureaucrat to explain it all. So far none of this has caused us any problems.

I also don't see it as a problem and also thought of the exact thing mentioned above. They saw "UA" or "UKR" or something (who knows). Obviously he has entered the US using the card and obviously they issued the card. I really have no desire to contact USCIS, I do not suffer fools well. Yes, Alla's green card says "Ukraine SSR" and that country no longer exists either though I doubt 1 in 100 employees at USCIS know what that is.

Just wondered if anyone else had any bad experiences. In the next few weeks, I am sure Sergey will exit and re-enter the US several times via Canada and for that he doesn't even use a passport, so if there is any problem, I guess we will find it out then. I will try and correct it on his I-751

When one is consistently incapable of contributing anything meaningful to a conversation, it is not an abberation, it is a character trait.
