Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionWrong info on GC??
Oops... I posted this in the wrong forum. smile.gif

Ok... I'm not sure what to do about this one!

My husband came into the country over 2 years ago on a K1 visa and we were married. He received his GC and everything has been going fine. We submitted AOS paperwork in June and received application acceptance in July. On July 22nd Paul did his biometrics again.

Last Thursday he flew his children back to their mother in England and was flying back home today when he was told something very odd. When he arrived in Newark with his expired GC and I797C notice stating it is OK for him to travel and work he was pulled up by an officer. First the officer said "you know your gc is expired and we don't have to let you in" so my husband told him the I797C notice is in his passport which states he is ok to travel. The guy then said he needed to verify that it was valid. We've never had that happen before... so they took him to a different area where another officer pulled up his information and asked him if he was coming back into the country for business.

Turns out the officer said his I797C and all paperwork in the system states his status is from K1 visa / getting married to US Cit. but his GC is codded as if he came into the country for business reasons.

We travel all the time and nobody has ever mentioned it once even when his K1 visa was in his old passport. Do they actually code GC's differently? Do I need to call the service center and point out that his old expired GC has incorrect info so that when they issue his permanent GC it is correct?

I've not heard of this before... is it really a big deal or were they just messing around with him as usual?

In addition you must bring your passport of course. You don't need a DL to proove status here... but you do need your GC and passport.
