Date of Birth Was Updated

In progress

What it means

USCIS changed the date of birth on your case record, usually to correct an error you or your attorney reported.

What happens next

Processing continues as before. Make sure the new date matches your passport or birth certificate, since it will appear on notices and on any card USCIS issues.

Informational only, not legal advice. Go by the notice USCIS sent you, and confirm deadlines and options with USCIS or an immigration attorney.

Questions people ask

Why does my case say 'Date of Birth Was Updated'?+

What if the new date is still wrong?+

Contact USCIS with proof of the correct date, such as your passport or birth certificate. It's much easier to fix before a card is produced.
