I filled on my own; with out a lawyer. Yes that is what they told me to wait 15 days until they give me further instructions on what to do next. I asked her if I could just go ahead and send it in with my proof, but she said to wait because maybe I wouldn't have to send in my EAD card. So what you are saying is that I wont be getting some letter with a bar code that I will need to send back along with my EAD card and proof?

Much help is appreciated. Thanks!

My lawyer went ahead and wrote in the cover letter that it was still USCIS fault for not cross referencing with the documents I sent them.

Here's my timeline

01/18/2013 - I received my EAD card with the wrong birthdate. That same day I called USCIS to see what I can do to fix it. The woman I spoke to told me that I can get it expedited if I can prove that the error was done by USCIS. If so, then I wouldn't have to pay the fee again. If it was my fault, then I would pay the fee again and my case would take up to 3 months. Without speaking to my lawyer I went ahead and asked for it to be expedited. The woman said that within 15 days I would get a letter from USCIS stating what my next steps would be.
01/23/13 - I received an email from USCIS stating my next steps. In the letter it stated that I would have to send the incorrect EAD card, a letter explaining the error, A completed Form I-765 application with box 2 – Replacement checked, and supporting documentation to verify the accurate information for correction, such as birth certificate, passport … etc.

01/23-02/07 - I met with my lawyer. We decided to explain why it was USCIS error. We mentioned that it was their error because they didn't cross reference with the paperwork I sent them and because they had my DACA birthdate correct.

02/08 - Mailed the EAD card, letter, I-765 form, and paperwork by confirmed mail.
02/14 - USCIS received my paperwork. My case went back to Initial Review. Under the bubble it had this written on "February 14th, 2013, we received your APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION, with a letter from you."
02/26 - I checked the USCIS website for an update. While my case was still under Initial Review, there was a new message under the Initial Review bubble. It read "On February 26, 2013, your date of birth was updated relating to your I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance.

I called USCIS and told them my birthdate was wrong & they said they where going to fix it & that they were going to send me a letter with the confirmation in 15-20 days. So, I never received anything and I called back and they told me it was fixed and that they gave a memo to the officer reviewing my case. Will everything be okay, or will I have further problems?
