Hey Darian, I received my 10 year renewal card but my last name was misspelled. I filed an I90 online but only got a receipt number# this was 3 months ago. How long is the wait? It didn’t say anything to email in my card.
I have an appointment for fingerprints because USCIS put my birth year wrong on my green card. The appointment notification says I must bring a photo ID, in this case because it is an I90 application it says I must bring the green card. My question is: Are they going to keep the green card? Will they leave me without my green card? Thank you.
Hi lawyer I just received my green card but I think uscis forgot to put all my middle name they just put the first letter to my middle : Exemple middle name is Laurent and they just put :L . a part of that everything is correct on my green card. I want to just know I need to fil a form I90 or not . Thanks
My wife just received her green card but noticed it said CR6 instead of CF1. A few days later we received a letter in the mail from USCIS stating that they made an error and we will have to file an I-90. Can we still travel to her home country while we wait for the I-90 to be completed? We will submit the electronic version so she can keep the physical card. Any answers are greatly appreciated!
OUR WEDDING DATE APRIL 5, 2022. WE HAD BEEN MARRIED 2 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS PRIOR ENTERING THE USA. AT THE PORT OF ENTRY ORLANDO, FL THE OFFICER STAMPED MY PASSPORT 06/06/2024 WITH A CLASS IR1 ENDORSEMENT. I SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A IR1 10 YEAR GREEN CARD, INSTEAD I RECEIVED A CR1 2 YEAR GREEN CARD. SHOULD I FILE AN I-90?
My wife received an IR1 10 year green card even though we are married less than 2 years. USCIS made a mistake it seems. What do we do? My wife has already been working on her i551 passport stamp and her stamp will expire in May 2024. Will she have to leave the county and quit her job because it seems like i90 takes 5-14 months and that will most likely mean she won’t have updated card till after her i551 expires.
I'm traveling tomorrow and I just discovered that USCIS made a mistake on my green card with the resident date. Instead of Oct 2018, they put Oct 1969 which is my birth year. What do I do?
File an electronic I-90. You are still a permanent resident and can travel on the green card. I recommend bringing the I-90 receipt notice with you in case CBP asks you about the mistake.
Hello! I got my GC with wrong place of birth, I sent I-90 and GC back to USCIS. I checked all my forms filled correctly. I need to travel. Two months ago I call to USCIC, schedule an appointment to put a stamp I-551 in my passport, three weeks ago got am email with “not available appointments”. I have my work and travel authorization card. But some people said when I received status, this document doesn’t work anymore. Is that correct information or I can travel out states with this document till my correct card will come?
I understand your frustration which why it's best to file the I-90 electronically and hold onto your green card until USCIS requests it. The reality is that you're a permanent resident even without your green card, but it'll be hard to re-enter the US without it. I've never seen anybody use an EAD to re-enter the US after becoming a permanent resident. I don't know whether or not that will work.
I noticed an error in my marriage date while reviewing my DS-260. I obtained the green card four years ago and plan to apply for naturalization next year. Should I contact USCIS now or wait until the naturalization filing period? Thank you.
I made a mistake by putting only one middle name in the registration, when I have two middle names, does this error have no correction in the interview phase?
Hi Darian, I have a GC with a wrong DOB I already filled a I-90 but its already 4months and I still did not receive my GC. And also my main concern is the DMV wont allow me to get a driver's license because my DOB is incorrect in my GC.
Thank you so much for the information. The same issue affects me. I was given a 10-year green card instead of a 2-year one, and I figured that was correct. I've been here for a year and a half, therefore my issue is: can I fill out Form I-751 immediately without an I-905?
I sent my I-90 but I didn’t know that I was a conditional resident and I put lawful resident on the application. What can I do in this case. How can I fix this error ?
Hey Darian I just received my green card yesterday and it says FNU and my entire name (both first name and last name )is written in the surname part .What do I do now ?
Hi! I got an error on my GC. I filled everything correctly, I got the correct surname but they put a wrong middle initial in it (since im already married). They put my MAIDEN middle initial in it instead the MAIDEN surname initial. I'm worried about it not being match my SS'. What should I do? Is this a big issue? Thanks in advance.
You should file an eletronic I-90 to correct the mistake. You are still a permanent resident, but you might have problems with employers in the future.
Hello, I have a question also I’m married to a U.S. citizen and they give me a 10years green card instead of 2years greencard 2017-2027 greencard expires and already leaving in the USA for almost 7years and I still 3more years before my Greencard expired. So I filled naturalization November 3,2022 and I passed the exam but the decision cannot be made because they want me to submit i-751 form to move my case. It’s so stressful case don’t know if i still to file I-751 or I-90 form😞
You need to schedule a consultation with an immigration lawyer immediately. If you want to speak with me, call my office and schedule a consultation. This is a pretty serious situation, and it is fixable.
Hey Darian, I received my 10 year renewal card but my last name was misspelled. I filed an I90 online but only got a receipt number# this was 3 months ago.
Hello, I just received my Green Card (Exp 2032 year) and One letter is Mission in my Last Name. Correct is "HNILOKOZOV" but they printed as "HNLOKOZOV" . Can I travel with this outside of US? And, on the USCIS Website, there is a "Correct Typographic Error" Page exist (In resources), is it the same and should I use it or i-90 is better? Thank You
Hi Darian - I recently received a 10 yr replacement Green Card and my name is spelt wrong. I believe I understand the process based on your video and the USCIS website, but I don't understand why the USCIS website has a section titled "Typographic Error' which you can fill out for a mistake made on a green card. It's a very straightforward eresponse and the page states "Did you receive a notice, document or card from USCIS and it contains a typographic error? We can assist you in correcting the error." To me this is confusing. Am I meant to a) Send in I-90, with Green Card, and other ID or b) Fill out this "Typographic Error" form on the USCIS website or c) Fill out both. Any insight would be appreciated.
Hello Sir, I received green card recently and it has “Resident Since” missing on it. There is no date in this field. Please suggest if I will face any issues in travel and employment with this card. Should I return GC to USCiS with I90 to correct it?
You are still a permanent resident and shouldn't have issues with employment/travel, however I suggest filing an electronic I-90 to correct the mistake.
Is it the typographic error option on USCIS which I need to fill..My daughter's name is Niharika but they typed as Niharkia....Can I travel after submitting typographic error
Hi Darian. Please can you answer my question? I have the same problem you mentioned in the example at the beginning of the video - got my 10 years instead of 2 and got denied on naturalization interview and am now in removal proceedings and they say my status is terminated. Can I travel out of state while in removal proceedings? My lawyer said that yes because only the judge can take away my green card but I'm afraid if will leave the country that will count as self-deported. I really appreciate any help you can provide
You can travel outside of your state, but NOT to another country. Do not leave the US while you are in removal proceedings. I'm very sorry this happened to you.
@@DarianLaw even if I have my green card till 2026? Isn't only the judge can terminate my status? I heard I can travel with I-551 stamp. Thank you very much for your answer!
can i ask for help we arrived in Guam last May 15,2022 and are just waiting for the greencard because my husband petitioned us but I got the delivery address wrong in immigration so I haven't received it yet. we emailed uscis but so far no answer.
Contact your congressperson faster help. The easiest way to resolve this is for your US citizen spouse to request congressional assistance with a federal agency (USCIS).
1. Can I travel with a green card that has wrong date of birth? I don't know If I can wait 6 to 9 months to get the correct copy. 2. If I picked "DHS made mistake" while filing I-90 (which I think is the case) but later it turns out that there was mistake in the I-485 (what if my lawyer made the mistake?) would it delay the process or can I just pay online (I submitted I-90 online) right away when they ask? Are they going to ask me to resubmit I-90 therefore ending up behind in the queue?
You can travel with a green card that has the wrong DOB. Yes, if you incorrectly indicate that USCIS made the mistake, then you will delay the process. Find out whether the mistake was on the I-485, because this will determine whether you need to pay the I-90 filing fee.
@@DarianLaw also I came across this: Typographic Error correction egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=typoError I was wondering, why can't this be used instead of I-90? Thank you again!!
Hi Dairan. My green card is missing my middle name. I think my lawyer forgot to put my middle name in the i485. But my passport has middle name in it. I’m planning to travel into the philippines nextmonth. Would i be able to enter the US border? Would this affect my flights? I’m really nervous.
My wife had an error on her green card so she submitted i90 on nov 2020 she have not gotten her card and it’s expired nov 2022 since it was only conditional green card. What should she do now apply to remove conditional or wait for them only got 4 months left before it expires
You need to file an I-751 if the green card is conditional. You should file the I-751 within 90 days of the expiration date. Do not wait for the i-90 to finish processing.
@@motimainali8206 Yeah, that's a problem if you plan to travel. You can get an I-551 stamp in her passport (which is the same as a 1-year green card), but it's always best to travel with the physical card.
@@motimainali8206 This is why it's best to submit the I-90 online (as I recommend in the video) so that you do not need to mail in your green card until the end of the processing time.
If it's a mistake, then you can file an I-90. You can also easily change your name during the naturalization process and I sometimes recommend waiting until you naturalize because of the simplicity.
@Darian Immigration law, should I file for N-400 on expired green card (permanent residence one) with spelling mistake or apply for green card renewal first to fix misspelling then file for citizenship ? thanks
Hi Darian,I have a problem with my green card which is currently I received because the middle is different,I get my EAD with the correct middle name but when I receive my green card and my SSN my middle name is different,asking some advice what should next thing I do…thank you
Hi, my dad recently received his renewed green card but instead of saying his country of birth as “Dominican Republic” it says “Dominica” would he be able to travel with it?
Hi.. I have One question, I recently filed i485 and found that by mistake I haven’t answered questions 43 and 46b in the i485 form. These are one of the bunch of questions where we answer yes or no. The i485 application is delivered to the USCIS office recently. They haven’t received a receipt notice yet. Could they fix this issue somehow? What would happen otherwise, will the application gets into an issue? Any suggestions or help will be highly appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏻
Once you receive the receipt notice (likely within the next few days) then the case is processing and nobody is going to look at any mistakes until your final interview. You can make any corrections at the interview. Don't worry about this, for now.
My son's name on his green card was misspelled. When I fill out the I-190 form is his receipt number same as mine? Im the main applicant, he's my dependent. Pls help. Thank you so much!
No, he has a different receipt number. You must have filed a separate I-485 for him to get his green card, and that I-485 approval notice has a receipt number.
My green card came in with the wrong birthdate on it. Am I still able to join the armed forces with it being wrong? My government issued id has the correct birthdate on it.
I have never seen that happen. She will eventually be permitted back into the US because she is a permanent resident, but she should expect to be detained at the canadian border while trying to re-enter the US until her identity has been verified. You could be there all day. File an I-90 (online) before you leave, and bring the receipt notice with you to show CBP that you have begun to deal with the error.
Is there a chance that they won’t let her back in the US and then she’s stuck in Canada ?The weird thing is the perm resident card has all her information correct except the photo is someone totally different ! It’s crazy because she has all her identification with the right picture and it’s not her fault they put the wrong photo on her card . I wonder if we show them all her other IDs if they would let her go through ?
@@DarianLaw hi i already filed mine since 2021 of november and they said I am still on the correct processing time with my green card replacement. They are the ones who made this mistake why is it taking too long??
Hi Darian the court granted my asylum in 2019 and I submitted i-485 5/2020 and I received my Green Card 2/2023 but it's showing resident date 2/2023 is it wrong date?
Hi Darian, I have a question so I recently received my green card (10 year renewal) and I noticed that my first name is in the middle name section of the green card as well, (Emelin, Emelin Marte). The application I sent in for the renewal never had a middle name nor was I born with one, I’m not sure if I should get it removed in order to do the n-400 application or to deal with it. Also my full legal name is Emelin Marte Corporan so I’m not sure if I should include that in the application if I have to do it(when I came to the u.s it was just Emelin Marte), do you know what I should do?
If this was caused by USCIS error then you have two options. (1) You can do nothing and live with the error until you become a US citizen, or (2) you can electronically file form I-90.
Hi! I got my 10 years green card a couple years ago, but the birth place on it was wrong. I asked my lawyer, but she said it is fine. I don't need to correct it or do anything, but I doubt it. Is it really ok with the wrong birth place on my green card?
Yeah it's not going to really affect anything, but nothing to lose by filing an I-90 electronically as long as it was USCIS' mistake (and not your attorney's mistake). If it was your attorney's mistake then you will have to pay the I-90 filing fee.
Dear Darian, thanks for the great video. This is very helpful! I just received my green card and found that the issue date is wrong. It's a typo error made by USCIS and it is 1 year earlier than it shoud be. I've filed the I-90 online, but can you let me know what will happen next? Will they ask me to do another round of biometrics? And after they have processed my I-90 and ask me to send back the green card, is there a limited time to return the card? If so, what is the time limit? I'm asking these because I'm planning to travel outside of US early next year and I'm worried that when they ask me to go to an appointment or send back the card, what if I'm not in US at that time and can't make them happen in time, will that affect my green card or my status in any cases?
Just a quick follow-up question on my post: If this typo error won't affect my travel and my work authorization, can I simply withdraw my I-90 request (given that it can take very months and even years to replace the card and the interium process may interfere my travel plan) and just live with it?
The principle is that they did the same thing to you. My situation is exactly the same as yours. I had an error in my date of birth and they took the fingerprints and now I have not received any signal.
Electronically submit an I-90. Don't use the paper version of the form. Hold on to your green card until they send you a Request for Evidence instructing you to mail it to USCIS.
Thank you for the video I got my green card but my third name missed the last letter but first middle and last name are correct Is that a problem pls I need your advice Thank you
Hi! Can I travel with a green card that has a missing letter from my first name? Instead of Irina, it's written Irin. There are any chances to encounter problem at re-entering USA or transiting any other countries from Europe? All other data are correct on my green card and I also have ID, SSN and passport from my native country (that has the visa with which I entered the first time in USA-now expired) with the correct name. Thank you very much!
Yes, you can. I don't know if you'll have any difficulty dealing with airlines, but CBP will allow you to re-enter the US. If you must travel, I strongly recommend electronically filing the I-90 and bringing the receipt notice with you.
hello sir i just got recieved my my 10 years renewed green card but there is a problem which is my country of birth was a wrong and it was not my mistake so how can i fix this problem
Hi Darian, Myself and my wife got our Green cards yesterday. I had applied for EB2 employment-based I-140, so was expecting my Green card to be E26 because I am already in the country. However, when we got the card, the category on my card was E36 (Alien who is a skilled worker) while my wife was E27 (Spouse of an alien classified as E21 or E26). We have planned a trip to Canada next week and I was wondering if I can still make the trip with the error on the card. Can I need to fill out the I-90 form to correct this error after I return from the trip or I should ignore it? Am I qualified to fill the I-90 online as against paper application? Pending the correction, can I use the card for driver license renewal, I-9 verification and travels?
In this situation I generally recommend electronically filing the I-90 (which will take MANY months to process before they ask you to mail in your green card). Bring the I-90 receipt notice with you as you travel. You can still travel and shouldn't have issues re-entering the US because, either way, you are a permanent resident. I doubt CBP will even notice the error as you re-enter the US.
Hello sir I received my green card recently but in green card mistake in middle name. How to correction ? Sir pls send me i90 form link? Pls explain me
My wife just recently received her 10 years green card after our i-751 petition was approved. We have also filled for N400 and expect to get it done by beginning of next year. So her new green card came with wrong gender "M" instead of "F". is it worth trying to submit i-90 petition for this? should we do it online or by paper? thanks
You can submit the I-90 electronically, but I personally wouldn't worry about the mistake because N-400 processing times are pretty fast at the moment (in most of the US) and she might be a citizen before the new green card is issued by USCIS.
@@DarianLaw thank you for the reply. We are planning to travel internationally around the holiday season. Will it disturb our travels if we just used the new green card that we received to exit/entry into US?

Please help Atty. 🙏😔 Do you Think I wont encounter any problem in the airport.
@@reindac28 You can still travel on the green card, but first you should electronically submit an I-90 (to correct the error). Bring the I-90 receipt notice with you when you travel just incase you are questioned about the mistake. You are still a permanent resident with the right to travel, even if there is a mistake on the green card.
Hi Darian! I received my 10year green card but I noticed that my middle name has a space in it. Instead of Castillo it spelt Cas tillo. Will it cause a big problem? And I am traveling outside the US in 3months will they allow me to re-enter United States? Thank you
@@DarianLaw Is middle name a big deal in immigration? I was thinking about leaving it that way since I am planning to apply for my naturalization in 3yrs. Do you think it won’t affect my reentry everytime I go outside the US? Cause I heard greencard replacement will take a year or 1.5yr
@@richiemamaril418 It won't affect your re-entry. If the error was caused by USCIS then the I-90 is free. If you caused the error then it costs money, and you might want to just naturalize without the I-90.

Hello, my situation is the same as yours. How did you deal with it
where to send the i90 and the green card?
File the I-90 electronically. Hold on to your green card until USCIS sends you a request for evidence instructing you to mail it to them.

My wife has already been working on her i551 passport stamp and her stamp will expire in May 2024. Will she have to leave the county and quit her job because it seems like i90 takes 5-14 months and that will most likely mean she won’t have updated card till after her i551 expires.

Is it the typographic error option on USCIS which I need to fill..My daughter's name is Niharika but they typed as Niharkia....Can I travel after submitting typographic error
She will be able to use that green card to re-enter the US
Hi Darian. Please can you answer my question? I have the same problem you mentioned in the example at the beginning of the video - got my 10 years instead of 2 and got denied on naturalization interview and am now in removal proceedings and they say my status is terminated. Can I travel out of state while in removal proceedings? My lawyer said that yes because only the judge can take away my green card but I'm afraid if will leave the country that will count as self-deported. I really appreciate any help you can provide
You can travel outside of your state, but NOT to another country. Do not leave the US while you are in removal proceedings. I'm very sorry this happened to you.
@@DarianLaw even if I have my green card till 2026? Isn't only the judge can terminate my status? I heard I can travel with I-551 stamp. Thank you very much for your answer!
can i ask for help we arrived in Guam last May 15,2022 and are just waiting for the greencard because my husband petitioned us but I got the delivery address wrong in immigration so I haven't received it yet. we emailed uscis but so far no answer.
Contact your congressperson faster help. The easiest way to resolve this is for your US citizen spouse to request congressional assistance with a federal agency (USCIS).
Can I apply for the N-400 with a gender error on my green card? Plis help!!
1. Can I travel with a green card that has wrong date of birth? I don't know If I can wait 6 to 9 months to get the correct copy. 2. If I picked "DHS made mistake" while filing I-90 (which I think is the case) but later it turns out that there was mistake in the I-485 (what if my lawyer made the mistake?) would it delay the process or can I just pay online (I submitted I-90 online) right away when they ask? Are they going to ask me to resubmit I-90 therefore ending up behind in the queue?
You can travel with a green card that has the wrong DOB. Yes, if you incorrectly indicate that USCIS made the mistake, then you will delay the process. Find out whether the mistake was on the I-485, because this will determine whether you need to pay the I-90 filing fee.
@@DarianLaw Thank you!!!
@@DarianLaw also I came across this: Typographic Error correction
egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=typoError
I was wondering, why can't this be used instead of I-90?
Thank you again!!
Hi Dairan. My green card is missing my middle name. I think my lawyer forgot to put my middle name in the i485. But my passport has middle name in it. I’m planning to travel into the philippines nextmonth. Would i be able to enter the US border? Would this affect my flights? I’m really nervous.
Please let me know what happened with you. Im missing a letter from my middle name
My wife had an error on her green card so she submitted i90 on nov 2020 she have not gotten her card and it’s expired nov 2022 since it was only conditional green card. What should she do now apply to remove conditional or wait for them only got 4 months left before it expires
You need to file an I-751 if the green card is conditional. You should file the I-751 within 90 days of the expiration date. Do not wait for the i-90 to finish processing.
@@DarianLaw She do not have copy of her green card and also we planning to travel in January 2023
@@motimainali8206 Yeah, that's a problem if you plan to travel. You can get an I-551 stamp in her passport (which is the same as a 1-year green card), but it's always best to travel with the physical card.
@@DarianLaw She had to send her card with the I90. Thank You so much
@@motimainali8206 This is why it's best to submit the I-90 online (as I recommend in the video) so that you do not need to mail in your green card until the end of the processing time.
Hi sir I have 10 yr green card but with fnu.what can I do now.how longer it will take to remove fnu from my card and to return new card
If it's a mistake, then you can file an I-90. You can also easily change your name during the naturalization process and I sometimes recommend waiting until you naturalize because of the simplicity.
@Darian Immigration law, should I file for N-400 on expired green card (permanent residence one) with spelling mistake or apply for green card renewal first to fix misspelling then file for citizenship ? thanks
I would just apply for citizenship because the N-400 allows you to change your name.
if your time is up in a visa-free country and you want to revisit the country again what will you do
Can you please rephrase your question?
I fill form for green card fees 220$ but my name is mentioning wrong on this form plz guide how can correct name in this form
Do you have your green card right now? If so, you should use Form I-90.
No i have no green card right now i fill and only deposit form online payed fees 220$ name is mentioning wrong on online form in
@@legalservices1992 You can try to submit an online service request with USCIS to amend the error before they mail the card to you.

Hi, my dad recently received his renewed green card but instead of saying his country of birth as “Dominican Republic” it says “Dominica” would he be able to travel with it?
Yes, he is still a permanent resident, but he should electronically file an I-90 to correct the error.
Hi.. I have One question, I recently filed i485 and found that by mistake I haven’t answered questions 43 and 46b in the i485 form. These are one of the bunch of questions where we answer yes or no. The i485 application is delivered to the USCIS office recently. They haven’t received a receipt notice yet. Could they fix this issue somehow? What would happen otherwise, will the application gets into an issue? Any suggestions or help will be highly appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏻
Once you receive the receipt notice (likely within the next few days) then the case is processing and nobody is going to look at any mistakes until your final interview. You can make any corrections at the interview. Don't worry about this, for now.
@@DarianLaw thank you so much
My son's name on his green card was misspelled. When I fill out the I-190 form is his receipt number same as mine? Im the main applicant, he's my dependent. Pls help. Thank you so much!
No, he has a different receipt number. You must have filed a separate I-485 for him to get his green card, and that I-485 approval notice has a receipt number.
How do I correct the typographical error in my son's greencard? Please help me.

My green card came in with the wrong birthdate on it. Am I still able to join the armed forces with it being wrong? My government issued id has the correct birthdate on it.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that you can still join the armed forces. File an I-90 electronically to correct the issue.
Hello , my wife got her green card but her photo is wrong. We need to travel to Canada for her sisters wedding , do you think we are good ?
I have never seen that happen. She will eventually be permitted back into the US because she is a permanent resident, but she should expect to be detained at the canadian border while trying to re-enter the US until her identity has been verified. You could be there all day. File an I-90 (online) before you leave, and bring the receipt notice with you to show CBP that you have begun to deal with the error.
I would avoid traveling, if possible, until the issue has been resolved. Re-entry can be a nightmare.
Is there a chance that they won’t let her back in the US and then she’s stuck in Canada ?The weird thing is the perm resident card has all her information correct except the photo is someone totally different !
It’s crazy because she has all her identification with the right picture and it’s not her fault they put the wrong photo on her card . I wonder if we show them all her other IDs if they would let her go through ?
@@TheeCorner3 I honestly don't know if there's a chance that they won't let her in.
me and my brother birth year got swapped on of green card application
If this was your mistake, then you should file an I-90 with the filing fee. If this was USCIS' mistake, then there is no filing fee.
How did you get it fixed? I am on same boat
@@Bhusalz i didn't yet

Hi Darian the court granted my asylum in 2019 and I submitted i-485 5/2020 and I received my Green Card 2/2023 but it's showing resident date 2/2023 is it wrong date?
No, that sounds correct. Congrats!
Hi Mr Darian just I wondering when they issued I should be resident since I got grants for my asylum is in it?
Hi Darian, I have a question so I recently received my green card (10 year renewal) and I noticed that my first name is in the middle name section of the green card as well, (Emelin, Emelin Marte). The application I sent in for the renewal never had a middle name nor was I born with one, I’m not sure if I should get it removed in order to do the n-400 application or to deal with it. Also my full legal name is Emelin Marte Corporan so I’m not sure if I should include that in the application if I have to do it(when I came to the u.s it was just Emelin Marte), do you know what I should do?
If this was caused by USCIS error then you have two options. (1) You can do nothing and live with the error until you become a US citizen, or (2) you can electronically file form I-90.
Okay thank you
Hello sir at the back of my green card ,3rd line, my last name is written in both sides,is this correct???

Hi! I got my 10 years green card a couple years ago, but the birth place on it was wrong. I asked my lawyer, but she said it is fine. I don't need to correct it or do anything, but I doubt it. Is it really ok with the wrong birth place on my green card?
Yeah it's not going to really affect anything, but nothing to lose by filing an I-90 electronically as long as it was USCIS' mistake (and not your attorney's mistake). If it was your attorney's mistake then you will have to pay the I-90 filing fee.
Dear Darian, thanks for the great video. This is very helpful! I just received my green card and found that the issue date is wrong. It's a typo error made by USCIS and it is 1 year earlier than it shoud be. I've filed the I-90 online, but can you let me know what will happen next? Will they ask me to do another round of biometrics? And after they have processed my I-90 and ask me to send back the green card, is there a limited time to return the card? If so, what is the time limit? I'm asking these because I'm planning to travel outside of US early next year and I'm worried that when they ask me to go to an appointment or send back the card, what if I'm not in US at that time and can't make them happen in time, will that affect my green card or my status in any cases?
Just a quick follow-up question on my post: If this typo error won't affect my travel and my work authorization, can I simply withdraw my I-90 request (given that it can take very months and even years to replace the card and the interium process may interfere my travel plan) and just live with it?
The principle is that they did the same thing to you. My situation is exactly the same as yours. I had an error in my date of birth and they took the fingerprints and now I have not received any signal.
Hello sir I’ve got my green card with my birth of year wrong What should I do please help me
Electronically submit an I-90. Don't use the paper version of the form. Hold on to your green card until they send you a Request for Evidence instructing you to mail it to USCIS.
Thank you for the video

Hi! Can I travel with a green card that has a missing letter from my first name? Instead of Irina, it's written Irin. There are any chances to encounter problem at re-entering USA or transiting any other countries from Europe?
All other data are correct on my green card and I also have ID, SSN and passport from my native country (that has the visa with which I entered the first time in USA-now expired) with the correct name.
Thank you very much!
Yes, you can. I don't know if you'll have any difficulty dealing with airlines, but CBP will allow you to re-enter the US. If you must travel, I strongly recommend electronically filing the I-90 and bringing the receipt notice with you.

Hi Darian, Myself and my wife got our Green cards yesterday. I had applied for EB2 employment-based I-140, so was expecting my Green card to be E26 because I am already in the country. However, when we got the card, the category on my card was E36 (Alien who is a skilled worker) while my wife was E27 (Spouse of an alien classified as E21 or E26). We have planned a trip to Canada next week and I was wondering if I can still make the trip with the error on the card. Can I need to fill out the I-90 form to correct this error after I return from the trip or I should ignore it? Am I qualified to fill the I-90 online as against paper application? Pending the correction, can I use the card for driver license renewal, I-9 verification and travels?
In this situation I generally recommend electronically filing the I-90 (which will take MANY months to process before they ask you to mail in your green card). Bring the I-90 receipt notice with you as you travel. You can still travel and shouldn't have issues re-entering the US because, either way, you are a permanent resident. I doubt CBP will even notice the error as you re-enter the US.
@@DarianLaw , thank you Darian. I wanted to clarify if I am allowed to file electronically online for my type of error?
@@paulokunade3753 Yes, you should file the I-90 electronically.

My wife just recently received her 10 years green card after our i-751 petition was approved. We have also filled for N400 and expect to get it done by beginning of next year. So her new green card came with wrong gender "M" instead of "F". is it worth trying to submit i-90 petition for this? should we do it online or by paper? thanks
You can submit the I-90 electronically, but I personally wouldn't worry about the mistake because N-400 processing times are pretty fast at the moment (in most of the US) and she might be a citizen before the new green card is issued by USCIS.

@@richiemamaril418 It won't affect your re-entry. If the error was caused by USCIS then the I-90 is free. If you caused the error then it costs money, and you might want to just naturalize without the I-90.
