Question about when my wife became a lawful permanent resident for N-400

[D Dub718 3]

Hello all,

 

I am assisting my wife with her N-400. The form is asking for the date of when she became a lawful permanent resident. Her 2-year GC shows "Resident since 12/21/20" and it has a a Category of CF1. Her 10-year GC shows "Resident since 12/20/21" and it has a Category of IF1. Which date would be accurate to list on the N-400? 

 

Thank you.

If she did an Adjustment of Status, she became a LPR on the date her Adjustment of Status was approved.  If she entered the US via spousal visa, she became an LPR on the day she entered the US.

 

Normally, it would be the date listed on the 2 year Green card.

She entered on a K1 visa but we adjusted her status while she was here in the U.S. Why does the conditional GC and 10-year GC show 2 different dates?

They shouldn't be different.  What date was the AOS approved?  I am assuming it is 12/21/2020 since apparently she filed the I751.  She should be fine applying for N400 under the 3 yr rule, but if that date is right, she might consider waiting until 85 or so days before 12/21/2025 and apply under the 5 yr rule.

One of them has a transposed date.  Which one is it?  That is why I worded my answer like I did.

Her notice date on AOS Notice of Action is 12/21/2020.
