As an asylum seeker granted permanent residence, you are entitled to a one-year rollback on your green card. The date on the card should be October 2013. You can request a replacement card from U.S.C.I.S. through form I-90 application to replace permanent residence card.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
