NVC Notice Error

[pwolocen 2]

On June 1st, I received my notice that they had received my Approved I-129f petition.(It was dated May 28th)

On the letter they have my fiance's name wrong! They reversed part of her middle name with her first name. They put

Minh Hanh Thi, instead of Hanh Thi Minh. I have e-mailed them and tried to call them. No response to the e-mail and always

get busy signal when calling.

Has anyone else had this problem? Does this error make a difference? Can anyone give me any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks, Scott, I will keep trying!!

hi,

I would type up a letter with case number (receipt number), beneficiary's date of birth, beneficiary's name, petitioner's date of birth and name. Then in the content of the email request them to change the name in a correct manner. Notify them that it is currently written like xxx, but it should be written like yyy. Send some sort of poof(i.g. birth certificate, copy of passport) so that they would be able to reassure that it is the same person. I hope this helps. I would also suggest to call them and notify them over the phone about this. once you send them this letter, keep one copy of it to your self and your beneficiary as well. Take it to interview with you just incase if they raise any questions about it, show them that you requested in writing to change the name because they typed it incorrectly. Name should be same on the marriage certificat and passport. Birth Certificate might be different as it is before marriage. First just try to send it without the proofs and call them and see if they already changed the name, if they did not then send it with the proof so you are not giving morethan you need to.

I hope this helps.

Take Care.

Thanks for the great advice. I finally got through to the NVC and she informed me that my petition had already left the NVC and we would have to correct the error at the counsulate! This morning I received a response to my e-mail and it confirmed what the operator had told me. We must present her passport to the counsulate either by mail or in person. I advised my fiance to go in person to make sure the problem was taken care of! I hope this reply helps anyone having a similiar problem. The response from the NVC takes about a week. Just have patience.

That is correct, I had the same problem and the operator adviced me to send an email with a copy of my mom's passsport and explain that her name needed to be changed.
