advice on name changed please

[anoras87 9]

hi guys,

my fiancee ( petitioner) had her changed couple of months ago. her new name was the one we use for all our process except for her passport which is still on her former name. we have the proof of legal name changed documents. do you think its going to be an issue on the embassy? our interview will be next month.

another issue i found out just today is, while i was re reading for 100th time our noa2 i found out that they mispelled my petitioners name. they lack one letter. her name is ysabelle. but they spelled it as ysablle, minus the E. do you think its going to be an issuea as well? im starting to get paranoid here lol.

For the K-1 visa the petitioner (USC) has to prove they are a USC, that they want to marry the beneficairy, that they are free to marry the beneficiary, and that they and the beneficiary have met in the last tow years. That's it for the USC petitoner. Once the petition is approved by the USCIS, it moves to the National Visa Center (NVC) and is assigned a case number based on the Embassy/Consulate where the beneficiary is a resident. Now is where the differences come in as each Embassy/Consulate does things based on their experience and the country they are in. Your petitioner will need to provide an affadvait of support to show that she can keep you off of means tested benefits while you are in the US. You might mention the error of her name at that time as you show them the support documents from her. The name that is the most important is yours as it will be used to gain entry to the US, so it must match the name in your passport. I am assuming that she will take your name upon marriage, so she should wait until after teh marriage to change her name in her US passport and at the SSA and all the other legal documents.

WIll her name change be a problem? Not as long as she can show that she is still the same person which it sounds like you can. WIll her misspelled name be a problem? Again, no as the visa will bein your name. You should try to get this corrected at the interview or during the AOS phase.

Good luck,

Dave

Did your fiancee provide evidence of the name change to USCIS during the petition process? If YES then don't worry about it, otherwise have her send copies of those legal documents. The CO may ask you questions about the name change just to see how well you know your fiancee.

Don't worry about a misspelling of the petitioner's name on the NOA2, the embassy does not care about the NOA2 and does not ask for it, plus they have the original I-129F petition in front of them with the correct spelling. Relax.
