Hi everyone,

First of all, this is a GREAT thread - it's been really useful - so much more information that I got calling the USCIS line yesterday, so thanks to everyone for contributing your stories. I have read about 5 or 6 pages of this thread, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to read all 17 pages since I found the thread yesterday so please forgive me if my question has already been asked and answered somewhere else here!!

Basically, my husband received his green card in the mail yesterday but it had the wrong birthyear - the only thing is, I accidentally put the wrong year down when I submitted the I-485 forms for him!! I feel so dumb and just can't believe it did it, after spending so much time and effort trying to get everything right. His birthday is 03/14/74 and my birthday is 02/14/78 - I accidentally put 03/14/78 for his birthday (using my own birth year) on one page of the entire pages of documents that I submitted and that's how the green card came.

So, now I am submitting the I-90 to the Missouri I-555 Corrections center, and everyone's posts on here have been helpful, but has anyone else made the same mistake as I have? I'm trying to gauage whether the average time of 3 months that people seem to have to wait before getting their new card is specific to those times where USCIS has made a mistake and not the petitioner, and if anyone else made the mistake themselves, what their experience has been...

Again, I feel so frustrated and so stressed about the whole thing - after waiting almost 2 years for this day to come, it all gets ruined by a dumb mistake on my part. Please help if you can!!!!!!

Hi,

I just spoke to someone at USCIS today and asked her a similar question: basically, whether I should be checking Chicago or California processing times to track the dates for AP and she told me I should be looking at my local office, i.e., Los Angeles and not Chicago.

I hope this is right!

Thanks! I was a little worried that applying for AOS would cancel out the K-3...

That is a little worrying that she couldn't find it! But I think she quoted that exact same paragraph so that's good.

Thanks again

Hi Everyone,

I haven't been on here for quite a while, but as this website has given me a lot more and better information than the immigration lawyer that we hired (and subsequently fired).

I've briefly looked through the posted topcis and I didn't find one exactly like this one, though if this has been asked and answered somewhere I apologize for the repetition!

Basically, my question is: Can my husband travel out of the US and re-enter on his K-3 visa after we have filed for adjustment of status? We are planning on filing for AOS, AP and EAD all at once, but I spoke to someone at USCIS today who informed me that he probably could travel on his K-3 while his other documentation was being processed. But when I asked her where that information was located on the website, she couldn't find it.

Can anyone help or advise on this? I definitely don't want him to be denied entry after waiting so long to get him here!!

Thanks!!
