Spelling Errors

[1HappyGuy 45]

We just got the notice in this weekend that they have received the application for adjustment of status for my wife's son. The problem is they have spelled his last name wrong on the notice.

I was wondering what others have done about this. Should we try contacting the 800 number or wait until the biometrics is scheduled to fix this mistake.

With all of the various documents we presented (all spelled correctly) we still get this error. My frustration with the USCIS just continues to grow.

I would call the misinformation line. They will send a letter in the mail to confirm any changes they make, so at least you will have something in writing to show you took action. Keep calling until you get that confirmation. Notices usually say to contact them immediately if any of the information is incorrect.

yep misinformation line for now.... but you should be getting your biometrics appointments shortly as well, so make sure to follow up when your there that the correct name is used. The bird who took my biometrics was just a collector but she then called an officer over to enter info into the computer, grab that one (f you can) and clarify.

USCIS spelt my husbands name wrong, and all i did was call the 1800 number, and it was corrected

1HappyGuy,

The people at the ASCs cannot help you with this. But if your ASC is co-located with a District or Sub office you may be able to speak with one of those folks without having an InfoPass appointment.

Well, I called the 800 number. After waiting 15 minutes, I finally got someone who sounded like they could fix the problem. Unfortunately, because I am not the applicant, I can not talk to them. The fact that they made the error didn't matter, they need to have my step-son on the telephone. So much for trying to get it fixed from the office.

As to waiting for the biometrics, I was less than impressed with the operations in Sacramento biometrics operation. They had about five supervisors that could approve the fingerprints and photos while they only had about 4 technicians actually doing the work. Too many chiefs and not enough indians.

They spelled Hachemi's name wrong too. The NOA had his name spelled "Hachomi". Good Grief!! How long would it take to check and make sure you spell someone's name right. grrrrrrrr!

1HappyGuy,

This comes a bit late, but next time be a bit more pragmatic when you tell them who is calling.
