What it means for your N-400

USCIS corrected your date of birth in your naturalization record. This matters because the date will be printed on your Certificate of Naturalization and later used for your passport. Confirm it matches your birth certificate and green card, and bring proof to the interview if there was any mix-up.

In general, on any form:

USCIS changed the date of birth on your case record. This usually follows a correction request or new evidence. Your case continues with the corrected date. Any card or notice should now show it.

Avoid these mistakes

Mixing day and month order on forms.
Not checking the final card.
