U.S. Nebraska Service Center Will Assist with Employment Authorization Documents Errors

Members of AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association) are reporting errors in EADs (Employment Authorization Documents) cards, including the following: 1) Incorrect country of birth, date of birth, gender or spelling of name. 2) Clearly incorrect validity dates. Please note that EADs approved at the NSC USCIS Nebraska Service Center) under the "express" adjudication system are approved as of the date of adjudication, whether it is an initial EAD or an extension. An example of a clearly incorrect validity date is an EAD approved on 07/09/2008 bearing validity dates from 01/01/2008 to 01/01/2009. 3) Approval for one year of validity, when the applicant clearly qualifies for two years (please review USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) updates and AILA postings to make sure the applicant qualifies). 4) Switched photos, i.e. husband's card has wife's photo and vice versa or a completely different person. If any of the above situations apply, please follow the instructions to submit an inquiry for individual case liaison assistance. You may ignore the instruction to first call the 1-800 customer service line at NCSC (National Customer Service Center) when submitting requests for EAD correction. To minimize delays, please describe the nature of the error as clearly as possible when submitting your request. Your liaison request will be forwarded to an NSC liaison committee member, who will review it and respond to you with instructions for obtaining the corrected EAD. IMPORTANT NOTE: individuals will be required to submit the incorrect EAD card in the original to the NSC in order to receive a corrected EAD card. Merely requesting a corrected card either by telephone or in writing will not be effective. Therefore, where necessary please ensure that the applicant provides the EAD to his or her employer for I-9 purposes prior to sending it in for correction. No new photos should be required, except in the circumstance of switched photos.

Dear Ms. Dasnan,

Correcting your son's name is an easy process, although it can take up to a few months for the NSC to do so. Try calling the 1 800 375 5283. They will likely ask you to return the EAD card before a new one is submitted. You may have to show that the past application, provide copies to show the error was USCIS mistake and you don't need to submit a new application like you would for say an I-90.

Best regards,

Hector A. Chichoni
