So I made a thread last week about my greencard having "Usa" as a birth country and not "Belgium".

Since it says USA, and I wouldn't need a greencard if I was born in the USA, do you think it would pose a problem if I travelled with it?

I didn't have an interview as I am a K1, and so I still have my EAD/AP that has the correct country of birth.

Since our nearest USCIS office for an infopass appointment is a 6 hour drive away, I called USCIS and asked if I should get it corrected.

She said I don't have to correct it because it was USCIS' mistake and not my own.

She also said I could have some trouble travelling but it would make it easier on me if I just kept my EAD/AP card with me as well as my other documents so they could verify my identity.

This is my temporary 2 year greencard, in a year and a half from now I will have to file for my 10 year one, and I will only travel once, or twice maximum, with that card..

I asked if there was any written document they could give me as proof that I contacted them and can legally work and travel with the greencard I have right now. She said they don't have any documents like that, but I can just tell the person checking my greencard that I have called USCIS to confirm and that it was okay. (like they would believe anyone saying that without proof, right?)

Should I call back and ask for a tier 2 officer to see if this information is correct? Is there any e-mailaddress I could contact so when they send me an e-mail back confirming I can keep this one I have proof?

Has anyone travelled with a greencard with an error on it before, and how did it go?

I know I can just send an I-90 and get my passport stamped but I don't have my drivers license yet, and my husband is switching shifts at work to 5 days a week, and he is out of days to take up at work. If it was closer by I could ask someone to drive me but a 6 hour drive would mean my husband as to call in sick at least one day at work, and we can only afford to do that if there is no other possible solution.
