Error on EAD card

[h2oWendy 6]

Hi! Long time lurker here! 

Our EAD combo card arrived today after a long wait, great news, but there's an error on it. The 'Country of Birth' is wrong, and seeing as we know where he was born and submitted a birth certificate, it's pretty clearly their error. I know the next step is to send it back, have it fixed, etc, but we also got notice that our GC interview is in about a month. Is there any downside to just waiting this out and not bothering with the hassle of getting this fixed and hoping the GC has the correct info?

I would wait it out

Make sure it's not a country that the US does not recognize.

 

I am from Palestine, but my green card says Jordan because the US doesn't recognize my state, and it's custom to put our country of birth as Jordan.

Just wait for an interview and make sure they issue GC with correct info. Bring your EAD to interview.

I just got my EAD replaced and it took 1.5 months. So you will have the interview before even they send you a new EAD card (which is not gonna happen if they approve your green card).

Thanks all for your inputs! I think we're just going to wait it out for the interview. My spouse is Irish, but the card said UK so it's probably a political mistake but in no way a recognition issue like with Palestine. Just some sloppy input on the computer person's part. 

Best of luck to y'all in this process!
