wrong category on the greencard
Hello,
I have received my greencard (marriage-based / adjust status) and I realized my card has the wrong category on. It’s supposed to be IR6 but it says IR0 (Parent of a US citizen) instead.
I filled the application correctly so I believe my card was just printed incorrectly by accident.
I need to file a form I-90 and USCIS is saying I need to resend my original document if the card has incorrect data due to USCIS’s error. I’m just concerend about sending my card back because I cannot anticipate the processing time and I cannot reenter the US without my greencard when I travel abroad.
I need to travel abroad this month so should I just wait and file a I-90 form when I return?
Has anyone experienced the same case? please share your experience if any - thank you so much!

you can go and they will stamp your greencard in your passport and then give them the card

i think you can use the gc you have - cbp is not going to see “whats your relationship”

@Bayano Parker what can a person file next if a petition decides to withdraw the marriage Green card application?

DO NOT RETURN IT…… file online and in this case u don’t have to send ur card to them. they will ask u to return it when they are close to make a decision. it will take forever to get a new one. I have been waiting for 20 months and still nothing

@Bayano Parker thank you! can I just visit the local immigration office?

@no name my case cannot be filed online since it’s a green card renewal that requires a fee waiver (cuz it’s USCIS error that I got the card with wrong category). I need to send them a mail so .. maybe I send the copy of my greencard first and see what happens..

@IR0 is for a Parent of US citizen (adjust status)

@Carolina R yes I could travel abroad as I didn’t send my card. I filed a claim online and mailed a copy of that application & my green card. Still processing … so glad I didn’t send the physical card.

Hi @Jessica K I’m facing the exact same issue. Did you send the I-90 alone or did you did it with a lawyer? I’m asking because my lawyer is recommending to send the I-90 immediately with the physical green card but I don’t want to do that. I saw that if I do it online I won’t need to send the physical one and asked him to do that instead. Not sure what should I do. Any advice would be appreciate. Thanks!

@Kelly M DO NOT SEND YOUR PHYSICAL GREEN CARD! it literally takes forever so I just sent the I-90 with a copy of my greencard. it says they are actively reviewing my application (261 days as of today). I still have my green card with me (thank god I didn’t send the physical card)
