I don't know, but it's certainly worth asking about.  It may save a lot of time.

It's strange that you weren't given exact instructions about what to do.

correct, but i was not expecting anything like that, so i was not ready to ask those options

thanks again !!!!!!

They had to give you a specific reason to file it to make sure you file the correct waiver.

Hi everyone! I have a question for a friend who also filed VAWA. She has her first name as: Jane Elizabeth and last name as: Doe (I changed names here for explanation). She got her EAD/AP combo card last week but it says - First Name: Jane and Last name: Elizabeth Doe which is of course contradictory to what was filled in her application. Even the approval notice says the same. My question is: Can she still travel with that combo card? Can she still apply for job with that card? 
if this has to be changed, what would be the process now? Her attorney is ghosting her and she’s getting very anxious. 
 

Please let me know what you think. 

Hello family! Can someone guide me here, please? Do you think she has to return the card and file everything again?

Did her prior letters like prima facie show correct name or if not is there a reason she did not get it corrected. I do not thin it should be an issue you can explain the officer but why to take risk, She can get it corrected now. Attaching link on how to correct your name. For vawa she can reach out to congress person to get it corrected.

There are few things i would do.

1- I would reach out to congress person for help at this point.

2- I would make an info pass again and this time i would ask for a supervisor if i would not get satisfactory answer. 

3- I would get another copy of my medical from the doctor (this does not cost over $ 70 and if you can afford) and take that with me at the info pass appointment. I would hand that to a supervisor.  

Thank you dear, that's what I'm planning to do as well, I have already called in for to get a copy of the medicals, and I'm still waiting to get the info pass appointment call back. I wasn't sure, if I could ask for the supervisor at the info pass appointment or not.

Thank you for the clarification.

They are not going to address anything until after 120 days.

yes you can ask for. I went to an info pass with someone else and we did ask for a supervisor. The supervisor was able to resolve the issue, However, that was a different case.

It's been 90 days already, there should be no harm inquiring about it.

Oh, boy -- Wednesday -- time for our hilarious Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

================================================

THE BLONDE'S MELONS

 

A blonde was walking down a road carrying a bag, when a guy came along.

 

The guy asked, "What are you carrying?"

 

"Melons," the blonde replied.

 

"Cool," the guy said.  "If I can guess how many there are, can I have one of them?"

 

The blonde giggled and said, "If you can guess how many there are, you can have BOTH of them!"

The name is correct, she doesn’t have to return the card. There should a coma after Jane right? Mine is like that too on my EAD That
