I-90 form question

[B and C 1]

My wife received her Permanent Resident Card, but her middle name is misspelled on the back (front only has middle initial). We were informed that we would need to send the card, Form I-90, documentation and explanation of how it was THEIR mistake.

Two of the fields needed to be filled out are not clear.

Section 3, #3: City of residence where you applied for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status - List the location of the U.S. Embassy or consulate or USCIS office where you filed your application for an immigrant visa or adjustment of status.

Since we traveled to Atlanta for her interview, is this where they mean? After the I-485 went to the Chicago Lockbox, we have only been to Atlanta.

Section 3, #4: Consulate where immigrant visa was issued or USCIS office where status was adjusted -List location of the U.S. Embassy of consulate or USCIS office where you became a permanent resident.

The case was transferred someplace else. The I-797 came from the California Service Center, Laguna Niguel, CA. I am assuming at least that this would be correct to put here.

Thanks for any input.

I hope you don't mind me saying this: put the Green Card in the safe and two years from now, when you apply for R.o.C., correct this on the I-751 form. Until then use First M. Last, like everybody else in this country of 310+ million people.

So when the OP gets a SSN they'll need to get it in the incorrect name, and file taxes in the incorrect name because it's on their SSN... No. That's way too convoluted. Also when doing the I-9.

As the OP is entitled to a free change thanks to USCIS error I would take a copy of the card before mailing it off, and then make an infopass to get a GC stamp once they've received the NOA1 for the I-90. They'll be fine with that.
