DOB error on GC - Need Advice

Hi there

Recently I received my Green Card and saw that the DOB was wrong. I back tracked it and found that it was wrong on my 485 application.

I looked into the I-90 form for correcting this and there were few options to state why I am requesting correction.

2 of them were
1) It was due to USCIS administrative error. If we select this then one has to send the original green card.
2) Change in biographical information. It also stated that if one is applying to correct the mistake not done by USCIS then one has to select this option.

I think I have to check the second option but it didn’t mention anything about sending original green card.

Did anyone fall into the same situation and not send the actual card? One of the attorney’s I am talking to asked me to send the original GC even though it was not asked for.

Please advice
Krishna
 
Choose option 2. Send a copy of green card. If they need original, they will request it. Include a copy of your birth document(s) which you submitted with your I-485 application - they should show the correct DOB.
 
I have not gone through this situation but one of my friends had to.She sent in her faulty green card even though it was not requested. It is preferable that you send in your Green card that was issued with the wrong DOB while filing I-90. Section 2 is what is applicable for you as the error has been entirely yours. The current filing fee is $365. (additional $85 biometric fee, if applicable)
 
Thanks. I got the same response from some other source as well.

I am planning on efiling as it is faster and get receipt then and there.
 
DOB in Asian format

In my case, everything is fine for me on my GC but I had put my late mom's DOB in the format DD/MM/YYYY which is typically used in asian countries rather then MM/DD/YYYY

I was thinking to leave it like that and if brought up by USCIS I can mention that I had it in the original format of my mother's DOB

Fix it before it gets to be a widespread problem. It will be more difficult to correct the further it gets out of hand.

SSN, bank accounts, foreign travel may be difficult when IDs don't match the way they are supposed to. Some ticket counter person or bank teller or whatever does not want to hear your sob story. Sir (ma'am) step aside. NEXT!
