Name error on NOA2 hard copy! HELP!

[.......... 8]

Got our NOA2 hard copy today and I have noticed they have spelt my last name wrong (they put MUPHY). Is this going to be a problem?? It also says our case has been forwarded to the consulate. Is that normal as thought was sent to NVC first? Also what's the numbers above my name?

Those number above your name in the format of xxx xxx xxx is your Alien number or A#. Was your name spelled correctly when you received the NOA1? The Consulate should get the name correct as it must match the name on the visa. If the petitioner's name is incorrect (i.e. USC) then it is not a big deal as no one other than USCIS knows who the petitioner is. The approved petition goes to NVC for a very, hopefully, short period and is then forwarded to the Embassy/Consulate where the beneficiary will have the interview and then receive the visa. Just make certain that all forms are correctly filled out for the Consulate and mention the last name issue at the interview. No need to contact the USCIS as the process has moved to the Embassy/Consulate stage--deal with them to get this resolved.

Good luck and congrats on getting to this point in the process,

Dave

Thank you for your reply. The name on the NOA1 is spelt correct (MURPHY). That surname is mine and I am the beneficiary.

Call the USCIS. Ask to speak to a tier 2 and ask them about the spelling. Ask what spelling your electronic file is under. ask if they need to make corrections. Your paper file of your I -129F will be correct and the visa application you fill out for London will be correct, but a wrong spelling in the computer could make it hard to check on things or match up your things.

Above you name? A- number? Petition expiration date?

It will go to to the consulate after a pit stop at NVC. All petitions go through NVC.
