I have been a permanent resident since 2001. When I was issued my green card for the first time, there was an administrative error where immigration misprinted my name. So I reapplied to get a replacement card. They re-issued it and they took my old card back. I left the country to go on vacation a couple of years after and upon re-entering into the country, they took me aside and questioned me. They said that I have 2 green cards on record but I only have 1 green card. How can I find out or who can I contact to make sure that I only have 1 green card on record? I don't want to be embarrassed and taken aside again as I will be leaving the country for another vacation.

File a FOIA request to see what is actually in your record. I would travel with evidence of the filing you made to correct the CIS error. You can file for citizenship.

Thanks for the insight. That's a great idea to travel with that evidence. How do I file a FOIA request? What does that abbreviation actually stand for? Is there a link on the USCIS website where I can file that?

Its filed on G-639, more information here USCIS - Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts (FOIA) (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextchannel=34139c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a 1RCRD&vgnextoid=34139c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD )

No filing fee. Good luck.

Thanks so much for that information.
