Interesting trip to local USCIS office

[goleta2sin 0]

My wife visited our local USCIS for her infopass appointment in search of a temporary EAD. Upon visiting with the immigration officer, she was informed that she already had the employment authorization in her passport. Apparently, she was given this stamp at her POS, the Las Vegas McCarran Customs. The officer then took her picture and gave her a work card valid until 4-19-06. The fascinating thing is that I told my wife to ask for the EAD at her POE, which she did, yet she was told by that Immigration officer that they do not give EAD at Las Vegas. Nonetheless, we will immediately file for AOS and EAD so there is no interruption in her eligibility to work. I am confused how she got the stamp, but we are elated that the visit to the Local USCIS was fruitful.

She will be applying for the ss card today. We waited a few weeks so we would be certain that she was in the system.
