DOB mismatch at FP

[sweet_jungle]

My wife went for her biometrics today and what a surprise, her date of birth on the system was wrong.
She only had DL on her and no passport. So, the ASC staff took her biometrics but refused to correct her DOB, claiming that passport was needed.
So, we called up USCIS and upon description of the problem,were immediately transferred to level 2. Level 2 looked at the cases and confirmed that DOB was wrong on I-485. It was correct in I-765 and I-131. She said that the only way to correct it was to take infopass and present passport and DL.

It is now more or less clear that DOB mismatch has caused her EAD to be stalled for so long.I have already got my EAD.

Moral of the story : take passport for FP, infopass, etc. all the time.

Our EADs and APs were filed separately with I-485 courier receipt. What a mess !!

lets see what happens at infopass.

went for infopass for correcting wife's DOB. Officer said it cannot be corrected here. After some protest, he took photocopies of birth certificate and passport and then sent e-mail to service center. Also, enquired about her EAD which is now pending for 110 days. Officer was not able to say why it is pending. just have to wait.

Well, i doubt having passport at FP would have helped. If in infopass they were not able to correct, how could they do it at FP ASC?
Anyways, having docs helps. I was initially debating whether to take birth certificate at infopass and it turned out it was very much needed.

Wife's EAD changed to "card production ordered", after a tiresome wait of almost 4 months. This was after 2 expedite faxes and 1 infopass.
