So this is what I did yesterday and I was advised to pick “non us resident” and they’ll process my visa right there at preclearance.

Yeah I have a feeling the agent was just trying to get rid of me cuz they were super fast and initially didn't even respond to my question regarding the visa. I got a phone number for the pre-clearance unit so I'll phone them tomorrow but it seems picking the resident option is the most sensible. I just dont wanna mess this up lol

Man I'm so confused now lmao. I even asked AerLingus and they said I should tick non-us resident since the nationality on the passport is what matters. Imma just contact the airport tomorrow and see what they say. I already paid the $220 for the card btw, only thing's left is to fly to the US.

So I should pick Landed Resident despite that I haven't entered the US yet since receiving my visa? I have the reg. number on my visa ofc

Okay that's pretty much what I figured as well. Thank for the help.

Not yet, just trying to fill out the API.

I just recently got my IR1 visa approved and I'll be entering the US for the first time after the approval very soon. I booked my flight with Aer Lingus, however the API is offering me three options regarding passport or resident status, namely, "US Passport Holder", "Landed Resident" or "Non-Us Resident". Which one do I pick here from the latter of the two? If I choose landed resident, I'm offered to input either an Alien Registration Card Number or a Permanent Resident Card number. I do have a registration number on the visa I've received in my passport but I'm uncertain if it's the same number the API is asking me or no. I was under the impression that I don't become a LPR until I clear entry into the US anyway. I'll be going thru Dublin using the US Pre-clearance FWIW. Anyone knows the correct way to proceed?
