My lawyer made a mistake while filling the application for my employment authorization card. I have the card now, but with a small spelling mistake on it. I don't want to return the card, because I truly need it right now. Can I function with this card until I get my green card? The green card is supposed to appear with my correct name as the issue was already reported to USCIS. Thank you.
If there is a small spelling mistake, you should be able to function with the EAD card. A small spelling mistake would be like one or two letters out of place in the name, and not a different name. If it is a small spelling mistake, an employer with whom you are working or for home you wish to work would have to be comfortable with it also.
