USCIS messed up applicant name - Page 4

I received my card today and sure enough they messed up my name. Its not a big mistake no spelling errors or anything, they just didn't change my name to my married name and now my maiden name appears on my card. I am now stuck waiting the 15 days. Anybody else who has had to wait 15 days heard anything yet? I called once and they asked me if it was going to affect me getting employed. I really didn't think about it so I said no, but now I realize that I can't even get a social, so it IS affecting my ability to get employed. I called back and asked them if they could expedite my request and the gentleman I spoke to read me a list of 10 requirements that I must meet in order to request for an expedition. Out of the 10 he told me I can select one or more qualifications such as being in the Nations interest that I get helped faster, financial loss to the country or myself, military deployment, USCIS error, and so on. I told him that having the incorrect name, I cannot apply for a social and apply for a job so it is a financial loss to me and my second option was also that it was a USCIS error as I had brought in my marriage certificate to my Biometric appointment and the gentleman who took my fingerprints changed my name in the system right in front of me, he crossed out my maiden name on my biometric appointment notice and wrote my married name and signed his name next to the correction, AND that very same day of my biometrics I Next day mailed a copy of that Biometric appointment notice with the correction, signature and stamp, marriage certificate and a letter explaining what happened. I also told him I have an email confirmation with a signature that it was received on september 18th. So it obviously was a USCIS error. He issued me another reference number different from the one I received the first time I called and again he said I had to wait 15 days.........

The person who took your fingerprints updated the name for you??
Even though I was told by USCIS that I can update my name error at the biometrics appointment, the person who looked over my sister's documents said that she can't change the name that is in the system... She told me to call them.

When I called USCIS on 9/21 regarding the typographical error, they gave me two referral numbers and told me to call back after 15 days for the update status. It has been over 15 days, and when I called them, they told me that they cannot access the information because I received letters from USCIS regarding the typographical error... They told me that I need to make an appointment with a local office or something.

P.S. The first letter that came said basically that they cannot make corrections without proper documentations, and that they would review the issue at processing time. The second letter says that my error has been noted and forwarded to my file for Officer review. And that all corrections and changes are determined at the time of adjudication...

EDIT: One letter is regarding the typographical error for I-765, and the other is for I-821D.
I-765 letter says that the issue will be reviewed at processing times, while the I-821D letter says that all corrections and changes are determined at the time of adjudication.

Yes the man at the ASC changed my name on the system. First while I was filling out the form at biometrics that they hand you I asked them what I could do since I had just received my marriage certificate in the mail. He went in the back to check with a supervisor and came back and handed me the form back and said he will change it for me right there. He scanned my appointment notice and erased old my last name and typed in my new last name. When he was finished he said that all I had to do was mail in a copy of my appointment notice and my marriage certificate to the original lockbox where I sent my application.

I called USCIS today but he only told me to call back if and when in 15 days I did not receive a response regarding the error by phone, mail, or email. He said I could get a response to either or all of those which I provided to him today when he was making a case.

I just don't understand how the second man said it would be expedited since it as a USCIS error, but I still have to wait the 15days for a response just like the first man told me.

They are processing these so fast and making these errors -.-

I hope you get a response and solution soon. Try to make an appointment at the ASC like they told you or maybe just walk in? I'm thinking about going if I don't hear a response soon and hopefully the guy that helped me is there again.

btw..I see your numbers start with t1f...mine start with t1b I wonder what the difference is?

Maybe USCIS thought that the name change was wrong or something. It's weird that they would ignore that name update and give you the old last name.

I guess I have to make an appointment and go there.
Good luck with yours!

P.S. Not sure what the difference is either .

The guy at my Biometrics also added my middle name to the form I filled out. He did it after looking at my passport. So I'm thinking that's when the mistake happen of adding my Second middle name for me.

I don't know why they would ignore it either especially after I sent them evidence that the name change was legal. I just wish I knew if I should apply for a social now and just bring my ead and my marriage certificate and apply under my married name or just leave it and apply with my maiden name that's on the card.

Good luck with yours too and please let me know how it goes!

Ugh. Was all happy when I received my EAD today, but on the envelope they included my middle name to my first name AND added it as a middle name as well. If my name was supposed to be: "Min Su Lee (obv not my real name)," now my name is "Minsu Su Lee." And sure enough, my EAD card also had it spelled that way. Whaaaat...

I have a Korean name, which means I have a two syllable first name that's hard to read to English speakers if the syllables are put together. This is why on all my official documents, my "first name" is the Min part and my "middle name" is the Su part. For some reason, someone at the USCIS put those two syllables together for me AND kept the second syllable as middle name-_-

Do you think this is an issue I should get fixed ASAP...? Gahhh I've already applied for jobs, thinking that I'll be able to apply for SSN next week!

Thanks, and will do! Good luck to you as well.

Yea, I guess it's because they aren't too familiar with Korean names. My sister's name is also Korean.

From what I've been told by USCIS, you need to make an appointment through the USCIS website under "infopass". This is if you have already requested for name update and have received letters regarding the request. Good luck!
These errors are really making me depressed =/. Feels like a sucker punch, haha.

I am trying to make an appointment with infopass, and I was wondering which option I should choose:

1) Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.

2) EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Not sure which one is best for a typographical error. What do you guys think?
