Hi,

My father just got his green card today(it was a 10 years renewal) and his year of birth is wrong. I noticed this mistake when I first filled out his I-90 form online and called them. They told me to get it changed at the fingerprinting appointment, which I did. The people there told me that it didn't matter, and that they would just use the information from his old card to make the new one. When my father got his fringerprint taken he told them that his brith year was wrong on the computer that they showed him and they changed it. Fast foward months later he finally got his green card today and his brith year is still wrong... Can anyone help me? I know I have to send the card back with proof and another I-90, but would this be their fault or mines? I mean I did fill out his brith year wrong but I told them to change it many times at the local office taking the fringerprint. Also what supporting document should I send in because his birth certif. is in another language too and he hasn't updated his passport in years... PLEASE HELP
 
If they made the error, you wont have to pay again for a new card.
but since you made it, I am assuming you have to repay.
else do you have proof that you called? . Do you have the name and id of the agent you spoke to???
Day and Time.???
I am assuming the database is collected from what you put in the first place.
it sucks but you probably will have to pay again.
 
I don't remember the person I called or ID no, but I swear it was changed while at the local office where they took his fingerprint. On the I-90 they even said if you need to make any change to your form to bring eveidence to the biometrics appointment. So, I don't understand why they would use my original form that I sent in and not the form from the office where the biometric was taken. I mean if I have to pay again I have to, but that is really dumb and how long is it going to take? I mean this isn't his first green card it just a renewal of a 10 year green card. So frustating because now his place of work is asking for the green card too. Anyways, I am still going to send the i-90 back in under the option that they made the mistake.

Should I even make an Infopass appointment? Is it worth it to do before I send the green card with the wrong info back?

My friend...I dont think USCIS will accept the error...you ll have to pay the fees again...infopass will check the data and find it not updated (of course) and tell you, you did the mistake at the first place.

they ll reject your application without the fee and you ll have pay anyway. but if you re not in a rush...try.
 
Well I sent it anyways today to them. If you are correct in saying that the office that does your biometrics cannot change anything then why do they even bother to write this on the I-90 form "If it is necessary to change any information on your submitted I-90 application, please bring evidence to support the change with you to your biometrics appointment."
So I guess once you fill out an app you are stuck with it unless you send in a new one then? I mean this isn't like they are just issuing a new card its just a renewal of an old one.
 
Was the DOB on the old card also wrong?

If not, it's disturbing that somebody can provide wrong biographical information like that and they'll just blindly print the card with the same wrong information without checking what's in their database. A 19-year old applying for renewal could just provide a date of birth that makes him/her 21 so it can be used to buy alcohol.

That is the sad part the DOB on the old card was correct...the worker at the fingerprint place even told me they used the old card to make the new one what a bunch of BS. THe whole system needs to be updated and streamlined. I sent the card back on the address of the green card is that the place to send it?
 
Well apparently today I got my stuff back and they wrote me a letter saying I sent it to the wrong place. So do not send it back to the original address where the card came from because apparently that is wrong. Send it to whatever place is written on the I-90 form for mailing. All I have to say is USCIS needs freakin reform no one knows what the hell goes on in the place they are working for.
