More than 60,000 green cards recalled because of a Glitch

According to Los Angeles Times on December 6, 2005, the federal government has recalled more than 60,000 green cards because a computer glitch miscalculated immigrants' residency start dates. It was said that a software change caused the problem.

Last month, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services sent letters to asylum recipients informing them that their residency cards had the wrong dates and instructing them to send them back to the government. Cardholders who attempt to reenter the United States could encounter problems if immigration officers notice that their green cards' residency "since dates" are different from the dates in the government's electronic files.
