"Unknown" Country of Birth on EAD Card?!

[Rebecca Jo 1,962]

Hi Rebecca,

I have the same problem with my GC. It says my country of birth is North Vietnam instead of Vietnam. So did your husband kept the wrong card until he remove the condition after 2 years? Do you think if it's possible to travel abroad with that GC?

Thanks,

Yes, he kept the card the incorrect card until conditions were removed. He pointed out the error to the clerk at his biometric appointment for Removal of Conditions.

And yes he traveled on the incorrect card with no problem. Your mileage may vary.

You can't travel abroad with a Green Card. It's not a valid travel document. For travel, you always present your Vietnamese passport.

Um, that's a bit concrete.

Of course she will need her Vietnamese passport for travel. But for entry into the US, she needs something to go along with it. A green card works nicely.

I just had the exact same problem occur with my EAD, but I am going to try my hardest to get it fixed. It says North Vietnam instead of Vietnam on mine too. So Finland doesn't exist and Vietnam is two countries now according to their database.

I'm surprised no one has replied since I posted in this thread.

Anyways, my husband got an email from USCIS today saying they couldn't make him a new card unless my husband sends the original EAD card back and send supporting documentation. What a bunch #######, really. They already have the forms and information when we originally sent the AOS package in the first place, we shouldn't have to send it again. That is their mistake, my husband shouldn't have to send the card back, he can't apply for jobs in meantime if we sent the card back. USCIS takes so long to do anything anyways so my husband is not going to send his EAD card back. He just worries that when he does get his GC that it will also say "Unknown" for his country of birth. I really don't know what to say about that. I guess we'll see what happens...

Anyone else have his problem with their EAD and/or GC? Did it ever cause problems with an employer that is said "Unknown" for the country of birth?

Hi, I also got an EAD card today with "country of birth" listed as "unknown". I do not know what to do. Reading many posts say that it will not be a problem. So, that means I do not have to apply for a replacement card with corrected information ? I do not want to apply as it will take a longer time to process, and that means sacrificing my employment time. If you have experience, please share with me ?
