Hi,

I received my green card about 2 weeks ago and they spelled my name wrong. So I mailed in an I-90 form along with the greencard... I got a case receipt number and now.. They scheduled me for a biometrics appointment? Is this normal?

My greencard still has 2 years on it and valid it's just the spelling was wrong.. Wouldn't they just correct it using the info I gave them and send it back?

Thanks!

Biometrics are only valid for 15 months. If you file something with USCIS that requires valid biometrics (such as an I-90, I-485, I-751, I-765, etc.) and you do not have them on-file then you must have them captured again.

I see. I'm just confused as I just entered the US july 3 and it has not been 15 months since they got all the info I gave to the embassy, nvc.. and uscis.. is this a normal step when correcting a spelling on the greencard?

Yes you do. I had to file i90 to make correction on the GC just like you do. Apparently USCIS now schedules Biometrics appointments for all i90 cases automatically. If you don't go then they will deny your case. What's the harm in it? It took 10 mins for me to go for fingerprints and photo. I would do it for a correct card!

I filed through mail too. Mail application takes about a week more than online to receive notification of appointment. Once you receive your NOA with case number, it will have a code for online My USCIS account. Link your case to online account and you will be able to download biometrics appointment letter once it gets scheduled. So I would say dont worry and just wait for your first NOA receipt letter.

I did get something from the mail, but only an I-797 NOA.. no codes or anything.. I'll wait for the other letter I guess?

I got I797C. There is a box on right side of the box that has your name and address on it. In that box it says "Notice Type" and "Access Code". Use that access code to link your case to online uscis account
