You can find the Class of Admission code on the front side of a newer green card right under “Category.” It is typically one or two letters followed by a number, (e.g., IR2). For example, RE8 would be the class of admission for the green card holder shown in the image below. USCIS has changed the location on the card over time. You may find the code in a different place on older cards. For examples of more types of green cards, use CitizenPath to prepare your Form I-90.

If you’ve lost your card, you may be able to locate the Class of Admission code on other documents such as an immigrant visa. If you were admitted to the United States with an immigrant visa in your passport, the admission code is printed on it. Look for the code located under “IV Category.”
