My original story: 

 

We got our approval relatively painlessly. However a few days prior to the interview, we discovered that my wife's country of birth was wrong on the forms - she was born in South Korea, but the lawyer handling our case mistakenly put "United States" instead.

 

We called the lawyer who said she screwed up, but that it wasn't a huge problem - just mention it at the interview and the interviewer could mark it for correction on the spot.

 

So we did mention it to the interviewer who said it wasn't a problem and that he'd correct it.

 

Fast forward two weeks, and we got her card in the mail. But her card states "country of birth: United States" on it. The mistake wasn't fixed.

 

The lawyer is currently trying to get it fixed, but it's been nearly 2+ months and progress is slow. Is there anything we can do to expedite this? Is this a matter we could contact our senator or congressperson for?

Odd that no one realized that if a person is born in the US, there is no need for a Green Card.....

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

That was my exact thought too!

 

OP---perhaps an infopass may help at least start to get this mess straightened out.  Although they will probably just tell you to file an i-90...however you won't have to pay the fee since it is USCIS's error.
