AOS June 2009

[Cacerez 19]

I got my EAD in the mail but for some reason they put the WRONG date of birth on the card.I called their costumer service and they managed to make me more confuse than I wasbefore calling.She told me to send another I 765 application with the original card and some evidence that my DOB is the actual one and that I am eligible for EAD.They also have to determine if it's my error or theirs and depending on that I might have to pay again for I-765.

I got sooo mad and told her how come yesterday I was eligible and today I'm not and asked her if she expects me to send the whole application again and what will happen if they lose my EAD somehow.After a few minutes she changed the story and said I could just send one copy of EAD ,a new application for EAD and some evidence of my DOB.

Just wanted to share my experience with you.Hopefully nobody will have to deal with this.

Do you really have to worry about that knowing that most likely the GC will come in a month or two, depending on your interview date?

Yes I do because I would like to find a job now and not in 2 months or when I'll have my GC.Imagine how you would feel if an employer would tell you that the informations on your social security card and EAD don't match.So don't tell me it's not a big deal if you haven't been in that situation!!!

Wow, no need to get smart. Your SS card doesn't have your DOB on it, so you might be able to explain the wrong DOB on the EAD to your employer OR they may not even notice it. Also, if you kept copies of all the paperwork you sent in, you'll be able to see if it was your mistake or theirs. I was just trying to give another perspective to try to be a little more positive...

You are trying to get smart and actually FYI your SS card HAS the DOB since I had the wrong DOB on that too and I had to go there to change it when I applied for the driver lisence because of a mismatch.So please try no to write about something that you really have no idea about. Since I have already been through that once I'm trying to do whatever it takes to get it right.

You might think you know a lot but you actually don't.

I got my GC in the mail today!!!!!

Congrats!

Whoa, you are being really rude for no reason. People are just offering advice. We understand you are stressed and annoyed with USCIS but there is

ZERO reason to take it out on people who have provided nothing but help and good advice in the past. EVERYONE is stressed/annoyed with USCIS and wants things to go perfectly but reality is, life isn't like that. You just have to take each bump as it comes and deal with it.

They made a mistake. First thing I would do is check the paperwork. Then, contact them. Get the stuff changed. And your done.

I also HIGHLY doubt an employer is going to turn you down for a job if you explain the situation & provide other paperwork showing the real date.

Go take a deep breath, understand that things happen and it's part of the process AND that things will work out.

And also remember, it's not any of our fault that it's not correct so don't take it out on us

She was talking about something not knowing anything about that thing.That's all and I wasn't asking for any advice I already did what I had to do.I just shared my bad experience and she made it look like it's no big deal...but it does when it involves you and not someone else. So I was just responding to her mean post( that's what I felt that she was implying that I am overreacting for no reason).I think you should read her posts twice,unless you are taking sides in this...and I'm sure you are.

And I guess I have the right to say when someone posts wrong informations here that's not being rude that is correcting faulty informations.

I'm not taking sides at all. I read all the posts, twice. I thought you replies to them were infact, a little out of line towards a person that was

trying to be supportive. And to be honest, none of us "know" what we are talking about. Everyone is learning what they can and trying to

apply what they've learned to other situations.

And as much as I know I'd be frustrated to, I know that it IS something that can be fixed.

To be honest I didn't feel any support from her post is was more like who cares if youl'll get the GC in a month or two...But it mights take longer and again when it's not your problem it seems like it's no big deal.

Personally I don't like to write or give advice to people if I don't have knowledge regarding that issue, I like to be as informed as possible before writing and speaking about something ( in my field there is not to much error allowed and probably is a professional defect)

[winifredbee 1]

Marry I do think that you are putting more meaning into DavChels response than needed. I think what she meant was that by the time you fix the problem with your EAD you will most likely have your GC. Writing messages here can easily be taken the wrong way because of the stress involved in the process.

Your Date of Birth is on our Social Security Card?

Imagine how you would feel if an employer would tell you that the informations on your social security card and EAD don't match. Did this happen to you?

So don't tell me it's not a big deal if you haven't been in that situation!!! DavChels never stated it wasn't a 'big deal'.

Regardless I hope everything works out. I think that is what we all want.

Congrats Ladyb!! :thumbs:

yup the problem with text is it's very easy to misinterpret the tone of what's said and ultimately distort the message in entirley the wrong direction. Especialy when we are as stressed and and upset as we all get going through this. I really think from standing back from this that that is what happened here. I personaly find the best way to cope through the big bumps is take big breaths count to ten and try my best to see the glass as half full not half empty. It gets me through the worst of it but I know it's hard to maintain at times as I fail at intervals but still it works sometimes.

Lastly if the phone bothering isn't working for you marry perhaps it's time to breakout the infopass appointment

AS I said before I've been through a similar (not the same )problem at the DMV when the papers I presented had my DOB and my SS card had a different one and it was a lot of trouble for me .Even though the DOB is not on the SS cared the DMV hence the employer has access to the informations behind it.

And another thing is that when you present your documents for employement you give them the EAD and the ID ( lisence/state ID) which in my case have diffrent informations.

And again try to think about this looking at things as if you were in that situation.It's called empathy and I think that person needs a little more of that and if she has it I defenetely didn't feel it(it's a subjective thing anyway)

I can see how her post was misinterpreted. I understand how you are feeling too I have been going through the wringer for months coming up a year in sept trying to fix a uscis error that has bearing on my greencard and it potential approval. I am just now feeling like there maybe light at end of the tunnel. But many posts ago davechels explained that her post was ment in empathy and not in the way it was interpreted. So there is no need to continue to out her as being mean or unempathetic. It was a misunderstanding simple as that. So lets all say sorry and make up now. lets not derail this great thread with a war if words.

Thank you for your support.

I think that it was an impartial and nice message and I think you are right about what you said.

I already sent them a new I 765, a copy the NOA from the I-485 and copies of my passport and birth certificate and the EAD with a letter explaining the error.Hopefully they will send me a new one soon since it was their error.

I just wanted to say what I did if someone else has the same problem (hopefully nobody will have it).I don't know if it's the right thing to do but that's what I understood from that lady on the phone. If I will not hear from them soon probably I'll do the info pass as suggested.

your welcome, it's 50 % why we are here anyhow . I have been doing exactly the same in my own thread and hopefully it will help those a few steps behind in the same situation. That would make the whole being guinepig thing seem worth it.

Good Luck Marry! You never know with USCIS but that sounds like you covered all the bases.

After my K-1 I never received my original NOA1. Everyone kept telling me that I would have to pay $340 for a replacement. Well after the 30 days I called again I got some guy on the line from Vermont and he simply said he would send me another. It arrived just in time for me to send it with my AOS. So they lost my NOA1 but they did come through in the end.

Thanks Hannah+Vito for your kind words. This is a nice thread and for the most part we have been blessed.
