Just wan to share that my wife's GC has country of origin as North Vietnam on GC but this didn't cause any problems coming back to US.

They didn't even read GC just scanned it. I was initially worried about GC being incorrect but it's not a big deal. As we all know, Vietnam is one country and the North & South don't really exist any more.

I hope my post helps others with the same concern.
