Wrong order of names on application

[nicagirlover 0]

Hi all,

Today I discovered that I had placed in the wrong order my wifes names (first, middle, mothers last name and fathers last name) on our application. I had the parents last names listed in the wrong order. All correspondence from USCIS and now NVC references her name in the wrong order, different from our marriage certificate and her Passport.

I plan on calling NVC tomorrow but I am wondering if any one has had this happen before and God forbid has had to start the entire process over or is it a simple change?

thx

Something similar happened to me except it wasnt my fault but NVC's. The names were right in USCIS but by the time the case was transferred to NVC it was entered into t he system wrong. When I called I was asked to send a photocopy of my passport that shows the correct spelling and order. They rectified the mistake once they got the documentation.

I'd say make a copy of the marriage cert and passport and send in to them with an explanation. Remember to add cover sheet with the case number.

Good luck.

Mrs O, would my communication be with the NVC since they are now handling the application or the USCIS?

Ahh! They spelled my wife's name with space!

Since your case is at NVC then call NVC and have them correct it. Also at the interview, make note of it. The visa should be issued in the name in the passport but this isn't always happening. Since this was your mistake you would be responsible for making the corrections.

If the visa is issued in the incorrect name, have your wife visit the consulate to change it. The I-90 to change the name on a green card isn't cheap

Good luck
