Infopass Appointment Experience in Santa Ana

[SENKA 0]

I had an infopass appointment today in Santa Ana to get I-551 in my passport before I send my green card back for correction of place of birth.

They told me that they can only give me a stamp valid for 60 days and that I would have to have a letter of emergency to get it.

I thought that since I am a permanent resident that I don't have to have an explanation why I need to travel. Or there are some rules I am not aware of? After all it was their mistake and they are making it so difficult. She also had no idea how long it takes to get a corrected card. So I am thinking of not even sending it to be fixed.

Anyways, they were pretty useless, complete waste of time. I also asked when I can file to remove conditions. My green card was issued on 4/25/2007, and she wasn't sure if I need to file in 2009 or 2010.

Any advice on what to do would be appreciated

Thanks

I would get the card corrected. You never know when that error will rear its ugly head.

I can't help you with a timeline.

If you have imminent travel plans bring them and get the stamp.

When to file for removal of conditions. Go to the link below and read up...

You file to remove conditions 90 days before the expiry date on your Green Card. That would be early 2009 them, based on your AOS approval of April 2007.
