Hello All,
I got plastic cards in a mail after 3 weeks of consular interview. However, there is a mistake on the card. My country of birth is India, and country of citizenship is Canada. On the card, Country of Birth column indicates CANADA.
* How do I get this corrected?
* Is there any fee associated with this?
 
i think you read this one before

Hey everyone.
I would just like to narrate the experience that I had filing my I-90(name mispelt)
.
I had a case where my wife\'s name was mispelt(just one letter though), but its better to get the things fixed.
Anyway, we went to the INS office in Arlington, VA for filing the I-90. Although my wife\'s passpot had her correct name(after marriage, we got it endorsed on her PP), i had to return back as the INS officer demanded the Marriage certificate (for her correct name after marriage).
So please take a notarized copy of the paper that shows the correct name(birth certificate, marrieage certificate..any legal "acceptable " document that proves her name that you want on the card)
Regarding the fees -- The first time I went the lady said i have to pay the fees of 110US$(she was unfriendly as well).. the next time we went there was another officer and did not even ask for the fees. To avoid any hassels at a later stage.. I asked him if we needed to pay anything and he politly said that "its INS\'s Mistake..no fees is required". SO take your pick. YOu might want to keep your chequebook handy as they were only accepting personal cheques besides , M-orders, Cerified cheques. But this can be different for different offices.
Not to mention that the website says that they accept walk ins till 9:00am. even though we were there at 8:20AM - stood in the Q for 50 minutes and when reached the counter then we were not allowed. Also this had to happen when my wife is 7 months pregnent.
SO be prepared(take all the relevent documents & reach on time..) and hope you have a better experience then what i have had.
 
No Title

I heard it is taking long time (6 to 8 months), eventhough first time I got plastic card in three weeks. Is there anybody else who have applied for I-90 and taking long time ??????????
 
No Title

I filed I-90 on 12/31/01 at Chicago INS office and I was told by IIO that it can take anywhere from 4-10 Months. I have heard on some posts here that INS sped up the processing and now its taking between 2-3 months. lets hope thats true.
 
Can I mail I-90 form instead going to the local INS office ?

There is a error in my card.
Can I mail I-90 form instead going to the local INS office ?
Does any one have this experience in NYC ?

Thanks
 
My card finally arrived four months after my interview but with an error on it. My date of birth on the card is incorrect. (It shows my date of entry into the US in this field)

I found out that it takes 10 months for a new GC to be sent. The stamp on my passport expires well before that. Plus there is the hassle of getting a copy of my birth certificate and passport notarized and standing in line for hours.

I called my lawyer and told him about the error. His advice is to do nothing, since I am going to be getting a new one in two years. (It is contigent on my staying married) I feel a little uncomfortable with that advice when I hear stories of people being deported for not notifying the INS of a mere change of address.

Does anyone have an opinion on this?
