Wrong name as PETITIONER on visa....noooo - Revised...

-----Thanks GnA-----

Hola...

My fiancee received her passport with the K1 VISAAA --- YESSSSS!!!

BUT, under the annotations section there are two entries:

1) Petitioner Vanessa LastName( THX G n A!!)

2) Medical Exam attached.

Are WE confused, annoyed, a little sad, mad YES to say the least. Vanessa is her sister, where we will be staying for the first year while my fiancee settles in and becomes accustomed to the USA culture and what-not. Her name, Vanessa's, appears ONCE in all of the documentation we submitted and we are besides ourselves to think that this could be a problem, delay.

We think it should not be a problem in the end since all the documentation as our names all over it, but will that be a problem. Once she arrives to the US the sealed envelope will have our names and if the Agent has any doubts we will both be present, well if they allow me to be with her.

Aside from calling the Lima embassy on Monday to verify it is not and will not be an issue, have others had a similar ERROR. I am dumbfounded to say the least! The more I think about it and after GnA's reply to my original post it might be best to have it corrected before she arrives in the USA...frustrating!

Aside from GnA, thanks, no other replies...

FYI: so others are aware for the Lima office at least, this is what we did: 1) She went to the embassy the next business day possible, that was this past Monday. 2) take the passport/visa AND the sealed envelope. 3) Request the process be "red ticketed" or rushed basically, as I was told today. Since they had told my fiancee it would not be ready until next week. I think me sending them an email early morning on Monday, nicely expressing my disappointed, how it was not our fault and asking for it to be rushed may have helped.

Her visa/passport is ready for her to pickup tomorrow,Wednesday, between 9a-10am at window 14.

WARNING, YOU MUST RETURN the SEALED envelope with the visa/passport, even though the letter with instructions does not indicate to. My fiancee went to the Embassy per the instructions without the sealed envelope, but had to go back home then return to the Embassy..lucky for her she made it back ten minutes before they would not help her on Monday..

SHE WILL be in the USA on 4/12/2013 in ATL - FINALLYYYYY!!!

F'n retards! How hard is it to copy names to print a visa?

Similiar thing happened to me...they misspelled my last name (petitioner). We were far from the embassy so we returned the visa and sealed envelope via a courier per the embassy's instruction. Took about a week to get it back and she'll be here in a few days!

Unfortunately, these things happen. When someone has to do the same thing over and over again at work, they are bound to make little mistakes without noticing.

Ironically, they expect our petitions to be flawless

I agree if they are typing up something that isn't important. I disagree with a document like a visa - it needs to be correct...Mistakes happen and I'd understand if this was very, very rare but this isn't the first I've heard of misspellings on the visas. When we rec'd the visa I told my fiance that I was concerned they would misspell her name and was releived when I saw they got it right until she noticed and pointed out that they screwed up on my name.

The embassy doesn't hold their employees accountable, that's why this ####### happens.

Email the Embassy...not us and ask.

Very insightful baron555.. If you actually took the time to read my original, I already INTENDED to contact the EMBASSY. I posted to see what had happened to others, not PURELY for advice on what to do. Since we managed to do so already as my FOLLOW-UP STATES.

[RS_0812 12]

Yes, the embassy personnel should pay more attention. In our case it was not a spelling or other minor notation..the petitioner name was not hers or mine.

It is fixed so we can move on and others can use this as an example when they have a similar problem.
