I was talking with a friend last night, who has a relative by marriage who is a naturalized citizen. At some point, someone in the INS administration made an error in recording his date of birth. Even though it was written out as "January 4th, 19xy" on his original paperwork, it was recorded on his INS records as 4/1/19yx instead of 1/4/19xy.
Ooops.
After much butting of heads, he managed to convince them that his date of birth was wrong, and got them to change it... to 1/4/19xy.
Oh, well, he thought - at least the year is right now.
Faced with further efforts to get the INS to change their records to, you know, reflect the actual month and day of his birth, he decided that it would be easier to just give up and celebrate his birthday on April 1st instead of January 4th.
Ah-yep.
I just can't wait for these folks to be involved in my health care.
