Name Misspelled (Ukraine)

[Robert Woodworth 0]

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but I could not find it.

I received an RFE because I neglected to have my fiance's divorce decree translated. I had it translated and noticed her name was spelled Olena Borysenko instead of Elena Borisenko (as I put on the application). The reason for this was some confusion between her and I when I will completing the application. She gave me her name as it was listed on her Ukrainian passport instead of her International passport. At the time, I had no idea she had two seperate passports so I was unaware. I guess her name on her Ukrainian passport was translated to Russian and then into English which is how it changed from Olena to Elena. I am getting ready to send in the translated divorce decree, but I am unsure if I should send in anything else explaining the name misspelling or if I should not worry about it at this time. I can make copies of her passport and send it in along with the translation or will all this get sorted out during her interview? It seems to be a common occurance to misspell or have multiple versions of translating a name in Russian or Ukraine. THanks

Promptly reply to the RFE.

That doesn't really answer my question. I know to promptly reply. I just received the proper document and am going to overnight it.

My question was whether or not I need to address the name being misspelled or not.

Welcome to the forum.

I was referring to the part of your multi-faceted question as to whether "all this [will] get sorted out during her interview/" If you don't promptly respond to the RFE, you will likely not have an interview.

It is generally recommended on this forum, that in order to get the best answer regarding an RFE, post the entire contents of the RFE letter. Since that hasn't been provided, a blind guess would be to suggest that you should address the name misspelling, if that will assist the USCIS adjudicator understand and hopefully approve your petition.

Thank you!

The RFE only asked for a translated copy of my fiances divorce decree. That is all. I am going to overnight that right away.

What I noticed while having the document translated is her name is different on her international passport than what I have written on the application.

My question is, should I do anything about this now, or wait for them to ask questions about it? I see 3 options. Send in documentation explaining why the name is spelled different due to tranlastion -or- Send in a request to have her name corrected on the application so it matches her international passport -or- wait for them to request something.
