Residence date is difference between New 10 Year GC and old 2 year GC

I got a new 10 Year GC recently and which will expire on 9/14/2017. I was comparing the new one with the old one and found that in my old 2 year GC, it states that residence since 2/27/2005, but in the new 10 year card, it states that residence since 2/24/2005. Since I will be travelling back to China early Dec, will this residence date discrepancy affect my reentry to US? Should I call customer service center for this? Also the category has been changed from CR6 to IR6 (I think that is normal).

And for my international travel, my new GC and my passport should be sufficient for re-entry right?

Thanks.

Also as you can see from my timeline, I actually had AOS interview on 2/24/2005 and got I-551 stamp on my passport. (So i am guessing the new GC had the right residence date) Since I will be travelling back to China early Dec, will this residence date discrepancy affect my reentry to US?

Since your 10 year card has the correct date, I wouldn't worry about it. Your old card is just trash now -- toss it and forget about it. You won't have any problems reentering the country as long as you have your 10 year card, regardless of what residency date it indicates.

CR > IR means you've gone from conditional permanent status to permanent status (i.e., no conditions).
