Green Card Error

[yuna628 9,676]

Our happy day of finally receiving hubby's green card was met with confusion. I instructed him to carefully examine the new card and immediately he found an error.

His sex is listed as Female instead of Male. After laughing about the stupidity of it, we're kind of annoyed now.

 

What should be the procedure in correcting this issue? I90s can be filed online but that seems it would be in the case where you'd be paying the fee to renew a card, right? But if it due to the USCIS's error the fee is waived.

 

I'm assuming we'll have to mail the card back. But it also says on the website to send proof to correct the error? What should we send, certainly they can see the correct information in his case file? His previous green card was correct as well. Is there something else we should be doing?

You can file the I-90 online. The USCIS Online Account will let you upload images (e.g. a scan of his passport, etc.).

Yes. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/instructions-electronic-filing-form-i-90-renew-or-replace-green-card-online

we will provide you with an electronic confirmation receipt that:

• Includes your receipt number.
• Tells you where to mail the required supporting documents listed in the form instructions. If you do not send the required documents to the address listed on the confirmation receipt, your application may be delayed or denied.
• USCIS will mail you a Form I-797C, Notice of Action. This is the notice you should use as evidence that you filed this application. If biometric services are required, we will send you an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center.

The table in the link above is outdated. Filing reason "(D)" can be filed online, according to the post below:

Thanks for the link. Thankfully my husband removed the wording from his SSN long ago and he has a full driver's license for many more years.

My concern is what happens when the green card is sent away and it could take nearly a year? Under his conditional status he'd be nearing expiry near Nov, and we thought that we'd have to get a stamp... but then they approved his ROC and conditions were lifted. He's technically a full LPR, but how would he prove it to anyone if we send the card away? He's also been thinking about transferring to a new job, is there an issue that could be caused there if they question his status? What about travel abroad? Or what about applying for citizenship (we were going to possibly do that near the end of the year). We'll certainly make copies of the card and his NOA2 and keep that with us.

 

Oh gosh, this is stressful.

File I-90 and then book an info pass to get the stamp in his passport.

It says online that Baltimore is not accepting Infopass appointments.

I wonder if there is a batch of cards with this error...

You have to call USCIS. Baltimore has InfoPass for I-551 stamps, etc. https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/find-uscis-office/field-offices/maryland-baltimore-field-office

If you need help with document services (such as passport stamps and advance parole) or have an emergency, call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283.

This is now common at most offices.

If you file I-90 online, you still have to surrender the physical green card or your I-90 will not be approved. So I'd say, unless OP must have GC in possession, paper filing is preferable.
