Spelling mistake in the EAD/AP combo card
Hi friends, By God’s grace my EAD/AP got approved on Jan 11 and today I received my card by mail. But my name is misspelled in the card. It’s not my mistake. When USCIS created my online account, there they gave the wrong spelling. Many times I tried to correct it using typographical error tool in USCIS web page. But nothing worked. After waiting for 7months, this is what happened. Do anyone have this same experience? If I send it back for correction, how long it gonna take to get the new card? Thanks and all the very best for this journey

congrats N Lora. seems super fast if u got approval on 11th and card on hand by 15th. did your status online change anytime between 11th and today? just wondering…..like, card mailed, tracking etc or it simply says case approved, and then u got the card?

that’s how long it usually takes like 4-5 days from approval you get the card in mail after it says card is being produced

@SS G: Thanks 😊. On 11th got the update “Card is being produced” and on 13th got another update “Card was produced” then today got the message “Card was delivered to me”. these were the updates I got on and after 11th Jan

also yes you have to replace the EAD. if it’s not your fault you have to write a letter explaining why you need a new one and send back the original EAD also send passport biographic and birth certificate for real name. you should get it back in a couple months but the validity dates will remain the same

sometimes faster could be 30 days you have to look at the bottom left of your approval notice and send it back there and it even tells you on the approval notice where to send hope this helps

yeah just open that and send your packet back to the service center address on the Bottom Left of the approval notice

N LoraJan 16, 2022
yeah, will send it back on Monday. thanks 😊

good write your receipt number on the packet and write “Incorrect EAD”
M
Mohk DalJan 16, 2022
don’t forget to photocopy the EAD so you can get your SSN and Job application started also, print out your job approval

N LoraJan 16, 2022
oh should I apply for SSN ? I thought I gonna get it after the EAD since I applied for SSN in EAD application itself
M
Mohk DalJan 16, 2022
you gotta apply if you’re trying to work on your EAD. SSN is needed for work so you can collect your social security

N Lora, I see this problem in my name on the online account. They put 3 letters between the first name and the last name. I didn't understand that?

@lora all the best with the correction. I pray yours comes really fast. people have been waiting for months. I always pray about these silly mistakes they have been doing. someone received their green card after over 1 year, only to open the packet and not his photo or name and dob on the card. like how?! all the best dolls💋
