A green card is literally not a visa

OK so apparently when you file for an IR-1 visa, the IR-1 is the sticker they put in your passport that gets you into the country. But once you get the card, it replaces the visa. So the card is not the visa.

Today I learned. Before this thread, I was under the same impression as bluesea.
