My name is Dana Prediy, I am an experienced lawyer with over 10 years of experience. Key areas of law: migration and civil law.

Case Category:
U.S. Immigration Law — Support under TPS (Temporary Protected Status) and EAD (Employment Authorization Document) processing

Case Summary:
The client, a Ukrainian citizen, sought legal assistance after facing two issues that posed a risk of delay or denial in obtaining a valid work authorization in the United States:

  1. A typo in the last name made by the client when filling out immigration forms I-821 and I-765 (TPS and EAD).
  2. An incorrectly entered city during a change of mailing address, which caused the EAD card to be returned to USCIS.

The client discovered the first error after receiving a Notice of Action from USCIS, which showed an incorrect last name. This posed a risk that all subsequent documents, including the EAD card, would be issued with the error, making them legally invalid.

Legal Strategy

The attorney quickly assessed the risks and took tactical steps for prompt correction of the error without launching complex appeal procedures:

An electronic service request via the USCIS e-Request tool was submitted, clearly outlining the mistake, the correct spelling of the last name, a scanned ID, and screenshots from the client's USCIS account.

Within a few days, USCIS confirmed the correction in the system. The attorney monitored the client’s online case status daily.

Meanwhile, a second issue emerged — the client had changed their mailing address after submission but mistakenly entered the wrong city, which led to the EAD card being returned to USCIS. This risked document loss and further delays or the need to refile Form I-765.

The attorney promptly:

  • Identified the issue via USCIS’s TrackMyCase system
  • Updated the address correctly via Form AR-11 (Change of Address)
  • Resubmitted an electronic request for EAD re-shipment to the correct address
  • Provided a cover letter with copies of the client’s ID and address change documentation

     

Result

The typo in the last name was corrected without the need to file a new form or application.
USCIS promptly responded to the electronic request and corrected the name in their system without delays in case review.

USCIS updated internal records and confirmed the correction in the client’s profile.
This ensured all future documentation and communication would be processed accurately.

The EAD card was re-shipped and delivered to the corrected address within two weeks.
The client avoided additional costs or complications related to the incorrect city entry.

The client was able to start employment on time without violating any rules or deadlines.
Thanks to professional legal support, he avoided delays in employment and legally began work with valid status.

Conclusion

This case is a clear example of how even minor technical errors can have critical consequences if not addressed in time. In such situations, attention to detail, precision, and knowledge of procedures by the attorney are crucial. With timely legal intervention, the client avoided unnecessary costs, duplicate filings, and delays, successfully receiving the EAD without further complications.
