Is it any problem if the petitioners name on a k1 via was wrongly spelt? They got last and middle name correct just the first name wrong. If u've had this xperience plz share, xpecially at d POE

How long have you had your visa? And is it possible to go to the embassy and have it

fixed? If it was me I would call the embassy and ask them what they suggest, it

was their mistake. Getting into the USA with that I don't will be a problem but it

might affect paper work in the AOS, maybe? Call the embassy....

Contact the issuing embassy/consulate with your inquiry.

As long as your name is correct and matches the name in your passport you will have no problems using the visa. The only issue will be that the name of the petitioner on the visa will not match the name of the petitioner or your spouse's name on the USCIS paper work--I do not see this as a big problem. Not a big problem, but you may want to contact the Embassy/Consulate and ask them. Make certain to document what you are told--i.e. time, date, who you spoke to, and what they told you to do if you call them. You may want to use e-mail to have a paper trail. The only people to see your visa will be the airlines and the CBP people and they do not care who the petitioner is. Then you make a copy of the visa to send in with the AOS paper work, that will be the only time the petitioner's name maybe compared to the spouse's name.

It is up to you to decide whether you want to correct it. IF doing so is a royal PITA, I would not bother.

Good luck,

Dave
