Hello,

My AOS was approved last week *Yay* and yesterday I received my I-797 Welcome Notice in the mail. I was so excited but then I saw that in the address field under my name they had put a wrong zip code (USPS delivered it to my right address anyway). It was the first time ever that something had been incorrect, all of the previous letters and notices from USCIS have always been correct. The Welcome Notice also states that I should call 800 375 5283 if any of the information about me shown in this letter is incorrect. So I just called USCIS and talked to a lady and she said that there was nothing that can be done at this point because the card production is already ordered. All I could do right now is to wait for 3 weeks to receive the Green Card in the mail and then check if they also put a wrong zip code on the card and then go from there.

I really don't want to deal with receiving a card with wrong data on it and having to send it back and wait another couple of months to get a correct card. Is there anything I can do to maybe stop this from happening right now?? And why do they tell you to call that number in cases like this if they don't seem to be able to do anything about it anyway??

I appreciate your help, thanks!

Card should have you name on it, however it will not have an address on the card.

It would be PAIN if people had to get cards replaced anytime they move.

The green card is not like a drivers license so it does not have a zip code on it. Just check to make sure your name and b'day and sex are correct. That will be the most important info.

Thanks guys, I just went to my mailbox and I actually just got my Green Card in the mail! I'm totally shocked now (in a positive way) and don't know how this works because I just received my Welcome Notice yesterday, I really didn't expect my card to arrive so quickly! It's so pretty lol.. And of course it doesn't have an address on it.. I feel a little stupid now.. I should have checked that before.. But thank you very much for your replies!!

YAY!! Done with this process for the next 2 years (almost)!! :dance::dance:
