Hello There
I got my green card few days back. It has wrong date of birth on it. I thought filing I-90 would be enough. But I cannot determine the problem was an USCIS Administrative Error or not. The cause of my dilemma is due to the following. The lawyer has entered wrong DOB in 485 Application. But the Birth Certificate and the Copy of the Passport which were submitted along with the app have the Correct DOB. Was USCIS supposed to verify the Biographic Info in the app with what is in submitted docs? Hence, it could be the Administrative mistake. Or as the app had the wrong DOB. It is petitioner’s mistake. Could anyone shade any light on this? I appreciate..
 
USCIS should have reviewed the other docs. But if the wrong DOB was on the 485 application, it will be deemed as your mistake and you will have to file I-90 with the fee to get it corrected.
 
This type of mistake happens more frequently than many people know. According to the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, the I-90 costs $290.
 
Hi,
I am in a similar situation. Were you able to successfully use I-90 to get a replacement card? Were you able to get away with the reason that it was a USCIS error?

Thanks,
Vishnu.

What do you mean "get away with" it? They have your I-485 and I-130/I-140 and birth certificate on file, so you will fail if you claim it was their mistake when the mistake was really on the documents you submitted.

Hi,

in my case the dob is wrong only on the 485 and correct on rest other applications (birth certificate, I-131 etc). Can I claim that it was their mistake? Also, on the I-90 application itself there is no option to suggest that the GC has incorrect information due to a mistake on the part of the applicant (or his/her lawyer).

Thanks in advance for your reply.

No, if the DOB is wrong on any of the forms or documents you supplied to them, it is deemed as your mistake, not USCIS mistake.

Also, on the I-90 application itself there is no option to suggest that the GC has incorrect information due to a mistake on the part of the applicant (or his/her lawyer).

For all the people with the above said issue, there is no other option but to file in an I-90.The current filing fee is $365. ( $85 biometric fee for a total of $450, if applicable)
