(U) This is an action request. Please see para. 3. ¶2. (C) Post noted inaccuracies in Dates of Birth (DOB) of 24 North Korean refugees that the Department previously authorized to process in Reftel (A). Correct DOBs were uploaded into WRAPS after authorization, so SAO processing should not be affected. DOB inaccuracies in Ref (B) may have occurred when columns shifted during the course of converting word document files from OPE into PDF file format. Post therefore re-submits corrected DOBs for the 24 North Korean asylum seekers already authorized USRAP processing. Names and correct DOBs follow: Name DOB -------------- --- ¶1.
