Question on name correction on EAD card.

[gssmsri]

Hi All,

 

I have a question regarding name correction on my EAD. I hope you can answer this for me.

 

I have applied for my EAD renewal on 04/15/2013, I have got my approved EAD card on 06/19/2013. But my name is printed wrong on the card. last name is misspelled and there is no first name printed on the card.

 

I called USCIS and they said they will look into this matter and get back to me in 60 days. My Question which they did not answer is,

 

Do I need to send the application again for the name correction by selecting replacement card option? If so shall I have to include the fee for the application or they will process the application for free of cost?

 

As my current EAD expires August 13 Please send me a reply as soon as possible so the i will take an action.

 

I very much appreciate your help in this matter.

 

Thank you very much in advance,

Sri

I believe you will have to apply again for the replacement card/correction even if its an error from CIS.

Whats your PD?

 

You may not need to pay a fee if your PD is after July 2007.

Thank you immigrationseeker,

 

 

I contacted USCIS 2 times about this and they said there is no need to apply again for name correction and they said they will send the corrected card with in 60 days.

 

my PD is Jan 2007.

just for others information.

 

Typos in approval notices / cards and other documents may be corrected by contacting the USCIS and following up with them if the underlying petition / application was submitted properly and it was a USCIS error.

 

thanks.
