Wrong DOB on I-485 realized during biometrics appt

[Michael&Susan 0]

Well, we went to the biometrics appt last Weds, during which we found out that the DOB for my wife is mine instead of hers. The biometrics folks were helpless as far as getting the situation rectified on the spot because they basically take the picture and fingerprints and nothing more. They told us we have 2 choices: go ahead with the wrong information on the biometrics and correct it later, or, get the information corrected with USCIS and have them re-send the biometrics letter. Unsure of which way to go, we immediately called the 800 number on the biometric letter, however, since our case isn't found in the database, we cannot even get a hold of a live person on the phone (apparently there are more people like us who got the biometrics appt but case not in the system).

Fearing it'll take who knows how many more weeks to get the DOB corrected, my wife went ahead and did the biometrics.

When we got home and looked at all the copies of AOS paperwork, we found out that only I-485 form with my DOB for my wife while all other forms used her correct DOB (I-765, I-131, G325a).

I admit it's our mistake this time, can anyone advise how we can get this corrected, especially when our case isn't in their "system" yet (either via phone or the online status check)? We have not received any RFE's asking about the DOB discrepancy. Is this something we can explain to the AOS interview officer when the time comes (there's enough evidence to prove her DOB)? The last thing I want is to have the wrong DOB appearing on my wife's future green card.

Thanks,

Michael

You could make an infopass appointment to see an immigration officer and get it corrected...

Good Luck

Is Infopass appt my only option? Would I be better off waiting for a RFE (if USCIS is smart enough to find the mistake) or wait to clear it out when the AOS interview comes?

I'm of the opinion that if you can fix it now...fix it Make an infopass appointment to see an immigration officer, as Kezzie suggested.

Good Luck
