Q: How can I correct an information mix up due to a typo on an immigration FORM?
I submitted form I-821 to USCIS, but made a typo on the Alien number box (A#). A week later I received a notice of action and noticed the typo (437 instead of 347). I then received a second notice of action but this time it had someone else's name on it. I called the USCIS 1800 number but they told me that they couldn't help over the phone. I made an appointment at the USCIS local office and spoke to an immigration officer who emailed a few people and told me they would correct it in their system. A month later I received a 2nd notice that the application was approved but still has someone else's name and number (It has my address and in Care of : My name). I sent the service center a letter, explaining the issue, I included a copy of my application and the notice of action, I also included a copy of my EAD, copy of the collected fees, and a older notice of action with the correct info. I received a response but it is still has someone else's name and A# on it.
