No, wife had to show the USCIS her home country passport and country ID to get a green card, plus her birth certificate in that all the birth dates were the same. That is the birth date they used on her green card.

If you green card was printed in error, suppose to return it and get it corrected. Assume the error is in your green card.

The error is actually on my new passport. So I went to the Nigerian embassy in New York to get it corrected and was told that I will have to go to Nigeria to get it corrected. But the expired one has the correct date and year. I don't know if I will have a problem entering the United States with the passport like that without it being corrected?

You probably will. Now, it is possible they will just glance at the passport and not notice but I doubt it, and bringing the old passport with different birthdate will just cause more suspicions and questions.

Where are you going? Can you go to the Nigerian embassy in that country and ask to have it changed? Or at the very least, get an official letter from the Nigerian embassy here saying it was their fault?

Just a minor inconvenience, with a US Passport, wife was required to maintain her home country passport that our not so local consulate could do. But they said she also has to renew her country's ID card first, and that can only be done in Colombia. But at their POE, refused to admit her with a US passport with Colombia place of birth in it. Took about a half an hour to convinced them to admit her, so she could get this done.

It cost us 1,500 US bucks to get that card, and one thing you certainly want to do is to make sure the card you get is correct. In particular with some foreign countries. The way these people get their jobs is being an in-law or something, certainly do not have the skills. Yes they made errors, we got those corrected first.

Same with the USCIS, if they make a typo on your certificate and you walk out with it, will cost you another 400 bucks and up to a one year wait. And they already took your green card. The hell with getting all excited, take the time to read it first, not once, but three times.

Ha, you don't have to go to a mental institution to visit nuts, just go to your local SS office.

'will cost' ? what?

no no no - as USCIS typos are corrected for free,

when filing an I-90 with a cover letter explaining the USCIS error.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Bad Nigerians passports not immediately reported as in error must be reissued through Abuja. No other office will issue a corrected one. This is to stop the fraud ( I have seen people with or more Nigerian passports all with their picture and different names )

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
