I am sponsoring my common law spouse, who is an American citizen- born in South Korea.
We have been approved for sponsorship, and Buffalo has begun processing our case. When looking up through e-cas with my (the sponsor's) info, I can see in process. Now that we have received AOR from Buffalo, I decided to try and look it up using the RPC file number and my spouses information. Nothing came up when I put in his country of birth as Republic of Korea (which is an alternate name for S. Korea).... so just on the off chance that they maybe inputed it wrong, I tried selecting The Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea (another name for North Korea) and voila- his file came up as in process.
So basically, they have designated his country of birth as North Korea, instead of South Korea. Obviously the two countries are completely separate, nothing alike and more importantly he was born in SOUTH Korea. Should I be worried that this may cause a problem if someone wasn't familar with the alternate names for the Korea's- as will this now stick with his file for the remainder of processing and they will then think he is from North Korea? All of his paper work filled out, clearly stated he was born in South Korea, but I am just concerned that if they process it from here on out based on whats in the computer, rather then the paper work they maybe will think he is from N.Korea, and maybe this will slow down the process?
Should I try and contact someone to have this rectified? Thoughts anyone? I find it pretty ridiculous that an immigration official couldn't have done just a little research on which Korea was which prior to adding the info to their system
