I received my EAD in March (after waiting for 4 months) but they've got my picture wrong so I have to return it and it took 2 more months before they sent the corrected one.

Re: ead correction
 

I would take a copy or two of it before you return it.

Maybe an employer will take the copy if you explain that you had to send it back to get a typo rectified.

I called immigration,

They said, If I can proof that it was their error, I dont have to pay for nothing again.
I have to send in my employment card, and a new form and everything and it would take the same 90days i was told mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn this is very bad...

anyhows.

Re: ead correction
 

WERE YOU able to work though while your card is being corrected? I guess not huh?

Re: ead correction
 

Nope, I can't even apply for SSN with the picture wrong on EAD.

Re: ead correction

Get a job first, and while working there, send this EAD and do
corerction. Do nto send this one and use copy to get a job. Who will
accept the xerox copy? May eb notarizec opy would work but still if I
were you, I would get the job first and correct later.

Re: ead correction
 

Thanks id try it but while talking to my neigbour, mentioned the wrong dob, he said ohhhhh better change, else its fraud?

Wonder how can it be fraud? Unless I made the card myself, Do you think I should point it out to my employer the wrong dob? And my intentions to send it soon as I started working?

thank you.

Re: ead correction

Re: ead correction

im glad to pay, but i just want a speedy one....

in my country we had the day first, month than year.........so i messed up there...........

Ahhh I am familar with that. You see on ther night of november 1'st I took my then girlfriend out on date in Aruba. I knew her birthday was the 14'th of November and we wouldn't be able to celebrate together.

Anyway, I was joking with her and asked her what she got me for my birtday for the next day. This kept on for the most of the night and then I confessed that my birthday wasn't the next day.

She now wanted proof so I decided to end the charade and showed her my drivers license. The date of birth was 2/11/57. Which is of course Feb 11, Not Nov. 2. I now get two birthdays every year...lol.

Sorry for your error. I'd keep a copy and apply for a job anyway. Disclosing everything upfront to my potential employer of course.

Good Luck.
