Wrong date on card again- update

[khwaidee1 196]

So, we successfully ROC'd. But, as with the 2 year GC, they got the resident date since wrong. To correct the 2 year we went the I-90 route which took a little over 9 months and two 551 stamps for travel. Not wanting to go the I-90 route again (we file for Naturalization in October), I sent an e-request and below is the response I got. They are basically just saying to send the card back to my local office. Has anyone heard of or done this? Kind of curious on the turn around. They do not say to submit an I-90, just send the card back for a replacement. I will of course send a copy of their e-mail. Thoughts on this? Thanks.

In order to update your USCIS records with correct information, please return the 10 year Permanent Resident Card that was issued in error. Once we receive the card, we will generate a new card which will display your resident dates correctly.

I strongly believe you should mail the card to the individual noted in the email. He will be the person responsible for sorting out the issue. You seem to be in good hands....goodluck

Will of course do so, thanks. After the past few years of waiting and a rather impersonal process thought it odd to get a response to my e-mail so quickly essentially apologizing for the mistake and saying hey, just send it back and we'll send you a new one. Kind of refreshing.

It appears as though they have someone personally assigned to your case, which, if true, would be excellent for you. If we interpret the verbiage literally, they intend to create a replacement card right then. Other opinions here might differ, but this is how I see it.

Thanks. That's kind of how I read it too. After such an impersonal journey, was pleasantly surprised to get an e-mail saying sorry and just send it to me and I'll fix it and send you a new one. We of course will go this route. I tried to search if anyone has ever had something like this occur with no success. We"ll see how long it takes to get the new one!

It is startling in a pleasant way, isn't it? It might be because you duly filed the I-90 and they still couldn't get it right.

Hi there - I've just received the same email (with a request to simply mail back the incorrect green card to Ms. Mills). Can I confirm if this worked for you?? Have you already gotten it back? A bit nervous to just send the card off, given how informal the process suddenly seems. (But as others have pointed out, this is probably an upgrade to have a person assigned!)

So yeah - do you have any updates on your own experience with mailing it to Ms. Mills? Might try to put it in the mail today...

Thank you!!!!

Oh and a second question: did you include any other paperwork or information in the package with your green card? Want to make sure I cover all my bases! Thanks!

[khwaidee1 196]

Sent the 10 year card with cover letter, copy of the e-mail, copies of both the 2 and 10 year cards. Mailed on 7/23, signed for on 7/24. On 8/4 got a USCIS e-mail that they received the card and my letter. Later that same day got an e-mail that said "Card/Document Production" and that the card was ordered. Reckon we should have it next week. Woo hoo!

Let us know when you have it in hand.

Just to add an update - I now have to go in to get Biometrics done AGAIN - apparently that's standard protocol for an i-90 replacement application. Sigh. The appt has been set for 10 days from now, but I don't understand how it connects to the 'expedited process' apparently taking place with my green card and Ms. Mills!

Confused and tired!
