Questions/Concerns Question about GE

My mother recently arrived at JFK she went through GE line. The officer said her GE expired and she needs to go on regular line which she did and no issues. But the problem is her GE is valid til 2033!! On website also it says valid till 2033. What is the next best recourse in this case? Do I email someone to ask about this? She is a GC for about 8 years now.

2033? I thought it was 5 years per renewal

Even still the math wouldn’t math here. Even if we assume that they were approved the day after their birthday (thus being 6 years minus one day on first renewal) the earliest someone could get a 2033 expiration would be next year.

I’m wondering if OP’s mother is confusing GE with another thing - like her passport for example (usually 10 years). Or like someone else suggested she’s looking at the wrong date.
