I was happy for 2 minutes before I fell into another nightmare...

The expire and "Resident since" dates are one year backward. In other words, my card will expire in one year. I have seen quite some cases like this on VJ here, and the solution seems to be I-90, but they are a little old and situation might have changed.

 

My question is:

  1. What should my next step be?
    1. The solution on VJ here is https://www.uscis.gov/i-90 In this case, do I have to surrender my green card?
    2. But it seems to be more appropriate to file "Typographical Error". https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=typoError Is this a new solution? In this case, do I have to surrender my green card?
  2. Can I keep the old green card because
    1. If I were stopped by ICE, I can show them my immigration status
    2. If I need to travel to, say, Canada visa free
    3. If I need to return to the US after international travel
    4. If my employer asks my proof of immigration status for I-9 purpose
  3. Is my "resident since" still today, even thought my card says one year ago?

1.File  a I-90 for a replacement card since it is USCIS error.

2. Get a new stamp from USCIS while you waiting for new GC. Note: you can travel international with the stamp, but some employer will not accept the stamp as a legal proof.

Some employers may not recognize the stamp at first, but it is completely fine to use for an I-9. Explain that, if necessary.

Thank you @H&T and @geowrian.

 

But I am still on the fence between using I-90 and asking USCIS to correct the typo by using https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=typoError

 

I am currently employed and do not plan to find a new job, do I absolutely need an I-551 stamp in my passport for I-9 because my Local Office is really really far...? (I think my employer can do E-Verify.)

I've only seen people fix the green card via the I-90. Luckily, I've seen people get the new card in a matter of weeks to couple months.

 

You don't need the stamp, except for an I-9, international travel, or other evidence of legal status (i.e. to obtain or renew a Driver's license in many states).
