I-90 Application - Wrong Name (Maiden Name)

[Brent and Alexi 1]

Hello All,

 

My wife recently filed her I-90 Application.  To our suprise, her maiden name showed up on the application online instead her married legal name.   I know for a fact she used her married name on the application.

 

What would be our next course of action?

My guess would be to file another I-90 application and in part 2 tick the 2.d. box (My existing card has incorrect data because of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) error. (Attach your existing card with incorrect data along with this application.)  Then I would state the error in Part 8 additional information including the WAC# of the already submitted application.

 

Thoughts?

 

Many thanks,

Alexi and Brent

Yes this sounds like a plan.

 

Do not send GC to USCIS unless they request it later in process.

 

Only send a copy with I-90 filing.

 

If it's USCIS mistake, it should be free replacement.

 

Good luck!

Thank you for the response olduser.  We do not have the green card yet though.  Just started the application process and found that it is in her maiden name through the forms they sent and USCIS website.

So why has the I-90 been submitted? Application process for what?

[Brent and Alexi 1]

It's for the renewal of the green card.

Wait until GC is received.

The problem is that her maiden name is on the I-90 receipt which extends her current green card expiration date by 3 years.  Processing times are over two years..

What name was on the first one? 

[Brent and Alexi 1]

Her married name was on her conditional and also her current green card.

Was the copy of current card attached for I-90 renewal?

[Brent and Alexi 1]

No they online require a scanned copy.  She still has her card but it expires in a few months.  Her I-90 receipt form (which extends her current card expiration 3 years) last name doesn't match the name on her current green card.

Does she have any plans to become a US citizen?

Yes she plans to.

 

We resolved issue so good to go now.  She never received her I-90 receipt in the mail but she found it on the USCIS website.   The receipt has her correct last name along with the 36 month extension on her current green card.

 

I am not sure why the USCIS website and the I-797 biometrics form had her maiden name.  

 

Thanks for your responses.

How long ago was I-90 filed? It takes 4-8 weeks from filing to getting receipt in the mail.

 

If you don't receive some letters after 8 weeks that's worrisome. What happens if GC gets lost too?
