Wrong date of birth on green card - Applying for US citizenship

[sarrebal]

Hey everyone,

I have a situation with one of my wife's best friend.
She came here as a refugee from the former USSR when she was 9 y.o.
She's 24 now, grew up here, her whole family got US citizenship.
She did not yet because when they gave her a green card they inverted day and month in Date of Birth.
She did not fix the problem before, don't ask me why.
Anyways, we got her a travel passport for refugees for her to come to our wedding overseas, but everytime she needs a visa to go basically anywhere.
The question is:
Can she apply for US Citizenship (she's eligible having been in the US for 15 years) without obtaining a new green card with the right date of birth?

Obviously she wants to get a US passport that shows her right date of birth and not the one on the green card. Would it be a problem if she shows the green card with the wrong date of birth and puts her correct date of birth on the N-400 form?

Thanks a lot!

Isn't her green card expired? If it is, then she must renew it before applying for citizenship. And, she can also get her birth date corrected on the new card. If it's not, then I don't see why she can fill out the N-400 with the right date, and enclose a letter explaining the typo on the green card. It would help if she still has the copies of her or her parents' I-485 to show that it was the USCIS mistake.
