EAD Card Received with Error on Valid dates

[Pisces221 0]

My EAD card arrived today after 143 days waiting from California Service Center and the Valid dates is from Aug 20, 2009 to March 26, 2011, meaning I can't work until Aug 2009. This is the first time I applied for EAD based on category (a)(9). This is a clear picture of USCIS administrative error. When I called the 1-800-375-5283 to report the error and asked them what will I do with this EAD card, the advice they told me is to file again another I-765 application and send back the card. Oh my gosh, I will start again in the normal process of EAD? The customer service cannot give me the processing time of my card where the error was on their part. I doubt if she's telling me the right thing to do because at first she was telling me that I would do e-filing of I-765, I told her if she's sure because as far as my reading an (a)(9) or K-3 cannot do e-filing of I-765. Then maybe she checked it and say sorry, I can't do e-filing. Please anyone who experienced this problem can share with me? or anybody who can advise me on what to do? Because I'm planning to send back the card tomorrow and file another I-765. Thank you in advance.

I think you should call again at least 2 times to hear 2 more different answers and then based on everything you hear make a decision of what you should do. You can also schedule an infopass appointment and try to resolve issue in person with real immigration officer.
