spelling error

Soon our CR-1 process has been going on for a year. Next month is my wifes and mine first anniversary but sadly we will not be able to celebrate it together. This is a major disappointment but I'm sure people around here know that nasty feeling of helplessness and dispair very well so I wont ponder on with that.

Our status is as follows. We have sent out both our AOS and IV package about a week ago. My wife is my Agent in the US so she has sent the documents out from there and I might add she's done a great job of compiling everything super neatly and I don't know how often she had checked everything for correctness before sending the packages out. No electronic processing for us, we had to send copies/scans by snail mail. No real difference, as I see it.

So, I'm fairly confident everything is perfect and we also eliminated the usual, unexpected pitfalls that can cause checklists, as stated in the VJ

There is one single detail, however, that is driving me crazier every day.

I have included two police reports. One for the UK and one for Germany, since I used to live there before I had moved to the UK.

It's the German police report in which I had noticed a spelling mistake, just before we've send it out. It had taken several weeks for the report to arrive, hence the decision to send it anyway.

In the document, My first, middle and surname are stated but the second letter is missing in my first name. Since the missing letter is a vowel it is fairly obvious what the name should be, so it doesn't read as a different name or something.

It's correct in all other docs, of course, and common sense wouldn't even let me worry about it but...we all know that common sense is probably not involved when the docs are being processed. Now, I'm aware there's not much I could do now anyway but since I'm about to go crazy I could really do with something that puts my mind at rest. Can someone who had similar errors in their police report (or other docs even) please chime in and let me know if it had caused any checklists or if had gone through the process without causing any delays?

Many thanks!!

I would err on the side of caution and obtain a certificate with the correct spelling. I couldn't say for sure whether NVC or ultimately the embassy will accept or reject it. If NVC reject it, you'll get a checklist to submit a correct one, so you'll have to wait for it to come through, then wait the 60 days for them to review it. If the NVC accepts it but the embassy decides to reject it, you'll be put on AP until you submit the correct one, and that can take an undetermined amount of time (but mostly just a couple of weeks - it's rare for it to take months if it's not for security purposes).

Also, you can send things directly to NVC. You don't have to send it all through the assigned agent :)

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

Ah thanks! Yeah I planning to have a correct copy at hand for the interview in good hope that the NVC would have me bring it there instead of me sending it to them. Can't see the missing letter as a non approval reason per se but wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to see it as the interview. Good point about the potential problem the Embassy might have with it.
