Some of you might remember what a horrible time we had with getting my husband's EAD. We finally got it at the end of July and we looked it over quickly to make sure it was okay.

Last night we made a copy of it to include with his AP application and noticed that his birthdate is one day off (says 20 instead of 21). We didn't catch this because 1) we were so excited to get the damned thing and 2) it's very hard to notice because of the reflection of the card.

What are our options? Since it's been so long since "approval", should we leave it as is and hope the green card has the correct date of birth (or change it if we have to get renewal EAD)? Should we book an INFOPASS appointment to change it?

I'm really, really hesitant to call up the information line or to just send the card back because I highly doubt it will be resolved. We definitely put in the correct date on the applications, plus they had the copy of his birth date on his passport...why do these errors happen so frequently??

The BD on the EAD probably isn't nearly as important as the GC. You might want to check with the USCIS, maybe they had a typo entering the data so the GC could be incorrect with it is issued also.

That's a good idea. Would he just call up the information line and get in touch with a representative to ensure that they have the correct birthdate in their system?

Hi there,

I had the same problem with my EAD card, The birth date was wrong. we sent the I-765 application again. Should we do anything else to get it faster? Can I start working in the meanwhile before receiving the corrected card ?

Make an InfoPass appointment... or, call the USCIS Misinformation line and insist on being escalated to an IMMIGRATION OFFICER. If you get flak, hold your ground; the front-line clerks MUST transfer you upon your request.

Also, is your VJ timeline completely up-to-date?

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
