Received 10 Year Green Card instead of Conditional. What next?

[sremlif 51]

Hi All,

 

I attended my AOS interview last Friday and was promptly approved. I received my approval notice in the mail this Monday and notification that my green card was in production shortly thereafter. I followed updates closely once it had been dispatched via USPS and was excited to come home today to find a Priority Mail envelope waiting for me! Just when I thought I’m done with USCIS for a couple of years I discover that they’ve issued me a ten year green card rather than the conditional card I should receive due to being married less than 2 years!!
 

I'm trying to wrap my head around the next steps, and here's what I understand so far:

 

 - I'll need to file an I-90 due to USCIS error and mail the green card along with a written explanation - not sure what other proof I’ll need to provide at this point? Is it worth me filing online or by mail?

 

 - My EAD expired Jan 7, 2020 but since I’d filed for renewal of EAD and AP - I had an extension letter making employment authorization valid until July 2020. However, since I’m now a LPR I am unsure what this means for my current EAD? Technically I’d assume that the renewal has been cancelled altogether and the existing extension is nullified?

 

 - I assume the green card I received today is useless due to the incorrect expiry date, and cannot be used to prove employment authorization?

 

 - I looked into scheduling an InfoPass appointment online to see if I can use my AOS approval notice to get an I-551 stamp in my passport, but this is no longer possible to arrange online anymore. Can I call USCIS and arrange a visit that way?

 

 - I am unsure what the current processing time is for I-90 but expect this will take months to rectify?

 

It seems this is a frequent error caused by USCIS, so I’d appreciate any advice from users that have been in the same situation!

When did you get married ? If it less than two years from date of marriage to i 485 approval then file i 90. When you get reciept, get a i 551 stamp in your passport.

 

I had similar situation. Filed i 90 and was approved in less than 5 months.Good luck.

It CAN be used for proof of employment authorization.

I recommend filing online.

Yes - I've been married for less than 2 years. 

 

Can you advise on what I should put for Class of Admission on the I-90 form? And what about Date of Admission?

Look at the "Resident Since" date on your current card. Assuming it's correct, put that date.
