Wrong name on green card

[allycat 0]

I got my 10 year greencard today - in my maiden name!! I applied in my married name and my temporary green card was in my married name, but they got it wrong on the 10 year. Has this happened to anyone else? I hope it is not going to be a hassle to have a correct one issued.

Please call USCIS right away and tell them your situation. If I'm not mistaken you have to fill up a correction form, I could not remember what form it is. I hope you fix your problem soon.. Good luck.

I believe it's the I-90 you have to fill out and submit. There should be no fee to file as this was a USCIS error.

You are going to need to file an I-90 with reason "D". There is no fee because its an error on their part. However be prepared to wait for it, I've been waiting for my corrected card 7 months this Wednesday *sigh*

File form I-90 option 'd'. Be prepared to submit evidence showing you filed your application in your married name.

Before you file the I-90, make an InfoPass appointment and get an I-551 stamp in your passport. USCIS does not generate receipts for no-fee I-90s, so it helps to have the stamp so you have proof of your status.

It took us six and a half months to get a response to our I-90. USCIS issued a new card but didn't correct the error.

In case anyone is ever in the same situation, it took exactly this long to resolve (2 1/2 months or so), which I have no complaints about. I got the corrected card today at no additional fee.

Also they changed the expiry to 10 years from when the correct card was issued.

So I'm done.

No, it didn't happen to me. You can send it back along with forms they stated above. That's their erroneous, so I guest there's no fees.

Congrats.

hello, I have a few questions but first, here's what happened:

I just received my green card today. It's the 2 year Permanent Resident Card or Temporary Green card with conditions (my husband petitioned me)

But I noticed that the last letter on my Middle name was wrong. I looked at the application submitted by my attorney I-485, I-765 and I-130, and all had the correct spelling of my middle name. But then, when I received my biometrics appointment, I already noticed the misspelled middle name.I immediately contacted the legal assistant and she told me that i could just tell the USCIS officer when I go to my biometrics appointment to change it. So when I went to my biometrics appointment, I told the USCIS officer and he corrected it. i thought it was going to be alright. BUT then, I received my NOA for our interview and noticed the misspelled middle name again, i contacted my attorney's legal assistant again and she said the same thing. So when my husband and I got to the interview, I told the officer again. When finally I got my letter of approval with the welcome note and all, they didn't put my whole middle name just my initial so I thought it was already solved. BUT then i received my green card today and they still misspelled it!!

I called the legal assistant again and she said that it was the USCIS fault, however, if they (attorney) file the I-90 for me then I would have to pay them $300!!

My husband got quite annoyed with this. So I think that I would file the I-90 myself since I dont believe that i have to pay anything at all because it was USCIS fault... and according to the website I should not pay any filing fee.

Question 1:

Do you think I should have it replaced?

Now my other problem is My husband and I are going to move out of his parents house next week. (Question 2)What should we do first? Have a change of address or mail the I-90 form?

The legal assistant also told me to make an Info-pass to set an appointment with our local USCIS office and have a stamp on my passport. however, my passport is still the old passport and I have my maiden name on it. When I called the USCIS Customer service, the lady told me to still get an info-pass and take my passport with me and 2 passport id photos and they will provide me with some sort of temporary ID or form since I have no passport with my married name on it.

(Question 3) Is this true? (Question 4) Should I get a new passport first or give what the lady told me a shot?

I got my card from the National Benefits Center. (Question 5) It would be better to submit the I-90 form to the National Benefits Center rather than submit it through our local USCIS office right?

Thank you so much for your help!!! I hope I can hear from you guys soon..

1. Yes, get it replaced. It's a USCIS administrative error and you should not have to pay a fee. Do it yourself, it's a very simple form to fill out and all you need is to make a few photocopies of the evidence

2. Send them both in at the same time. You'll need an AR-11 for yourself and an I-865 for your husband.

3. Um I'm not sure this is necessary...? Could you not just keep a photocopy of the green card on you as a form of ID?

4. Send it to whichever service center it came from.
