Replacement of Green Card due to USCIS error

[rhemie02 0]

Hi Team, just want to ask. I submit my application for replacement of Green card due to incomplete name that they print on my card. I also got the Form I-797c but I did not call the USCIS because it says on the letter " please verify and immediately notify USCIS if there are any changes". So base on my understanding since it is correct I did not do any action.

Questios:

1. Did I made a right move for not calling them?

2. If yes, how long until you get your replacement card after submitting your application for replacement?

Note: They received my application Sept 12, got the letter Oct 12.

Thank you team.

1) Yes.

2) 6 - 10 months.

If all info on the NOA1 is correct, then you don't have to call them.

It can take 2-6 months for the new GC to arrive. Better make an infopass with USCIS and get a temporary stamp on your passport.

As stated, just get an I-551 stamp at an Infopass appointment (take your valid foreign passport as well as the I-90 NOA receipt) and then you are covered.

Thank you Hypnos. Just want to ask what is the I-551 stamp? Just in case I need to leave USA or work?

[apple21 953]

Yes, you will need the i551 stamp for work and travel abroad.

Follow up question & update:

Got a letter from USCIS today(Jan 13, 2015) saying I need to go to USCIS office near me and do biometrics.

1. Biometrics for a replacement because of their error?

2. What document should I bring as well beside what is listed on the letter? Will this be a ROC already?

Note: We are celebrating our 2nd Anniversary on March 1, 2015. I am a CR1 via DCF (Filled at Philippines Embassy).

Thank you.

Thanks Apple21.

I was hoping when they return my GC it will be 10yrs because for sure it will come later than March

Also regarding the i-551 stamp do I need to get a schedule for that or can I ask during my biometrics? Also what document you bring during the stamp?

Thank you

Yes, you need to schedule an Infopass appointment for the i551 stamp.

Bring your passport, state issued ID, marriage certificate, birth certificate and the NOA1.
