  • Help urgent: First name incorrect on OPT ead card

    I know there are already a lot of threads on this subject and i am sorry for starting a new one but i need help urgently. I have received my OPT EAD card and approval notice a few days ago but my first name is incorrectly printed.My name has 3 words xxx yyy zzz but the zzz part is missing and a letter in yyy is missing on my EAD card. I have a job offer in hand and am supposed to start from next week onward, can i join and then get my card corrected?. I know the process will take a long time for getting the name corrected from USCIS and i doubt if my employer will wait any longer as it is already delayed my joining.

    Please respond ASAP.

        Hi,

        My firstname and lastname is wrong in the EAD card. I sent a letter, EAD card and other documents to USCIS. How long will it take to get a new card. I received the card 5 months back. I noticed the wrong name today only.

        Thanks,
        S

            if you have not applied yet for H1B process wait for the correction to be made and then apply for H1B processing..

              Name Correction Issue

              Hi folks - I have the same issue. My first name is AAAA BBBB, Last name is ZZZZZ. In the EAD (OPT) card, the name is printed as

              Last Name: ZZZZZ AAAA
              First Name: BBBBB

              Probably the error is because, the Name section in I765 application has just one continuous name field, I typed the 3 names (Last Name followed by first name) with just spaces. Whose mistake would it be?

              Should I pay the fee for a correction or just email the documents?

              Thanks
