TAMMY XUAN TANG,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP AND 

IMMIGRATION SERVICES, DISTRICT 

DIRECTOR,

Defendant.

Case No. 20-mc-80063-SVK 

ORDER GRANTING PETITION TO 

AMEND NATURALIZATION

CERTIFICATE

Re: Dkt. No. 1

On March 17, 2020, Petitioner Tammy Xuan Tang filed the instant petition asking this 

Court to amend her naturalization certificate, issued on July 10, 1991, to reflect her true date of 

birth. Dkts. 1, 1-1, 1-2. On May 12, 2020, Respondent United States Citizenship and Immigration 

Service (“USCIS”) filed a statement of non-opposition. Dkt. 8. All parties have consented to the 

jurisdiction of the undersigned. Dkts. 9, 11. 

This Court has subject matter jurisdiction to amend Tang’s naturalization certificate. See 

Trinh v. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, No. 14-mc-80337-MEJ, 2015 WL 

2088766, at *2-3 (N.D. Cal. May 5, 2015) (“[C]ourts retain jurisdiction to amend judicial 

naturalization certificates issued before October 1, 1991”). Accordingly, the Court GRANTS

Tang’s petition to amend her naturalization certificate to reflect her true date of birth - April 9, 

1964. The Court directs Tang to paragraph three of USCIS’s non-opposition (Dkt. 8) for further 

direction as to how she may obtain a corrected naturalization certificate from USCIS. 

SO ORDERED.
