Green card arrived with UNKNOWN country of birth

My conditional gc arrived today with country of birth as unknown. 
 

I can see uscis making mistake due to 2 reason.

 

I have dual nationality (Croatia/Serbia), i am born in Serbia. I came to USA with Croatian passport because my Serbian passport had expired like 5 years ago and i never renewed it, so on my applications from i-129f and ds160, to all aos/ead/ap forms i always put nationally Croatia (to match nationality stated in my passport) and COUNTRY OF BIRTH Serbia. So all forms states country of birth Serbia, even my Croatian passport states that my country of birth is Serbia, i have sent my birth certificate stating cob Serbia,,, and yet my gc arrived with cob unknown lol. Could it be that dual nationality confused them?

 

Second thing is that since i was born, Serbia has changed name from Serbia and Montenegro to Serbia (or Republic of Serbia). So idk if this caused some confusion, but name change happened like many years ago and i have sent them my updated version of birth certificate with correct country name.

 

Im pretty sad this happened, and i know that if i want to correct it i have to file for i90 card replacement. I have seen that it might take several months until corrected version is sent back to you (up to like 9 months, if not longer). I really don’t want to give up my card as i never received ead/ap and we were planning on traveling soon~

 

Did this happen to anyone lately? What do you think caused them to put cob unknown? Do you think traveling with gc stating unknown cob would cause any issues at border? Did anybody filed i90 to correct mistake on their gc lately and how long you have waited until new card arrived?

File online - that way you get to keep GC until they ask for it back. Make sure to attached whatever you used for K-1 visa so you can prove you have actual COB and it's their mistake.

Agreed with @milimelo you only send the GC with mistake at the very end of I-90 processing. It's in your best interest to fix the mistake. Good news, you don't have to pay fees if you check the right boxes on the form.

Yes, thats what i’m gonna do then. I thought you had to send card back immediately. Ill log on my uscis account tomorrow and start the process~
