I need an advice for the process after entering USA on SB1 visa ( Returning Resident visa)

[Valia and Serghei 4]

Hi There , I am looking for advice from members that had an experience with SB1 visa (also known as Returning Resident visa) process after POE

 

Recently I was issued an SB1 visa and I came back in USA in the end of July 2018

but my confusion is : what’s next. 

 

As I am not sure what is the procedure after entering USA 

 

On the border, the officer told me that he is taking my green card for renewal, said Welcome in USA , gave me a new A-number and said wait the new green card in the mail

so he suggested not to do nothing and just wait  4-6 months to receive my new green card in the mail

 

But reading some post I saw people returning on SB1 visa are applying for I-90 for renewal of their green card 

so I called USCIS, asking them to clear the process for me : should I apply for I-90 or just wait ?

the customer service officer was not sure , he Forwarded me to  a Tier 2 officer, who told me that I am supposed to fill I-90 for renewal of the green card with my old A-number , not with the new one. ( its confusing to have two A- numbers too) 

 

So here is why my confusion :

the officer on the border said don’t fill any form , the new green card will come in the mail 4-6 month from date of entry , but the officer from USCIS said  that I shoul apply for I -90 , pay the fee and then a new green card will be produced with my old A-number

who is right in your opinion? 

What path should I take as already 2 months are gone from the date of entry 

 

please , help me with advice especially people that had already entered USA on returning resident visa SB1 

share your experience, please. 

 

thank you in advance

Hi! Same for my mother in law... Are you sure it is 4-6 months not 4-6 weeks? 😩 We also waiting. Our attorney told us just to wait.  Not to do anything. She entered US in August.
