EAD Card information

[jundibasam 0]

Wife got her EAD in the mail today, but the card has her birthday as 7/14/08 as opposed to 7/14/80. I know that USCIS says that any typo has to be corrected and this would require a new application and another 60 to 90 days to get the relacement card, but I was wondering if anyone heard of SSA issuing a SSN in this case. We're thinking of just trying to go there with her passport/visa, marriage certificate, EAD, and birth certificate to apply, but wondering whether I should be optimistic or pessimistic

Well SSA is going to use her birth certificate or passport for proof of age. If the date of birth is wrong on the EAD card I would assume it's going to be wrong in the verification system, so might be OK since the document matches the verification system. Procedure doesn't say anything about the work authorization document DOB not matching the evidence being used as proof of age. Only if the immigration document DOB doesn't match the verification system.

If they give you are hard time ask for a manager and ask them to show you in POMS where the immigration document DOB has to match the document being used as proof of age or anything other than the verification system.

Thanks for the information. I assume the same thing, but the EAD card appears to be a simple typo as I made copies of the I-765 form that I mailed in, and I definitely put 7/14/80 as the correct birthday, and when I called USCIS today, the agent told me the birthday was recorded in the computer as it was on the petition. Plus, I don't know that someone at USCIS would have approved and EAD for a baby that wasn't even born yet (7/14/08) or an immigrant that is almost 100 year old. Either way, you think I would have gotten a RFE if it was a mistake in the system, but with DHS, anything is possible.

Well if the system is right and the card is wrong the SSA office will at the least need to do the secondary electronic verification request. If you are lucky that will only take a week or two and clear up problem. If you aren't lucky immigration will want to see a copy of the EAD card and it will be sent along with form G-845 to be verified. No telling how long that might take.
