Our EB-5 visa interview was conducted while my wife was pregnant. Then my wife gave birth to my son and we entered the U.S. Recently we received our green cards. The green card of my baby is valid for 10 years, while the ones we have are only valid for 2 years. Is this a mistake? Should I report to USCIS and request the replacement of a green card for my baby?

EB-5 Immigration attorneysThe permanent resident card of the baby should be valid for two years.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYes, this is a mistake. Filing the form I-90 should take care of it.

EB-5 Immigration attorneysYes, USCIS made a mistake issuing a 10-year green card to your baby. You can apply for a replacement green card on Form I-90. Since it was an error of USCIS, you should not have to pay the filing fee. You might have to call the USCIS Contact Center to inform them.
