What does resident since mean on green card?
It’s likely that your “resident since” date is prior to the date that you received your actual green card. For example, if you were granted an immigrant visa at the U.S. embassy in your home country and the green card was mailed to you at your U.S. address, you’ll notice that the date will be the actual grant date.

It is possible for green card holders to take a position where they are “treaty resident” in another country and therefore only subject to US federal income tax on any income created within the US. However, this position would not be available to you because you are a US resident.
