Error on daughter's naturalization certificate

[Naijamd 2]

Hi all. So my 14 y.o daughter recently got her naturalization certificate and we discovered they had her country of birth wrong, and her middle name was spelt wrong as well. They had the right information in her Green card, and her Canadian birth certificate was submitted as part of the N-600. My wife was initially told that she just needed to go to a local court and swear an affidavit and then get back to them. Unfortunately, the local courts wouldn't do this and says it is purely an immigration matter. My question is since the mistakes came from USCIS, how do we go about having them correct the error. I might add that her Nigerian passport has the spelling of her middle name wrong but not the country of birth/citizenship which is Canada.

I will suggest you try to get an info pass and go with the certificate there and any other document that may be needed to fix it.

I'm not sure why someone would tell your wife to get that done at the local courts. Anything immigration related needs to be dealt with by them. Plus it was their mistake so make them fix it at their cost.

It's pretty difficult these days to get an InfoPass appointment. You can try calling the USCIS number and saying "InfoPass" but unless you say the exactly correct prompt, they'll just auto disconnect you.

 

Please let us know if you have luck scheduling one.
