Name misspelled in interview confirmation.

[Frider 7]

We have submitted the DS-160 and scheduled an interview on May 17. My fiancée’s last name is misspelled on the interview confirmation where it says “appointment made by”. Her last name is spelled correctly on the appointment confirmation where it says “applicant name”. We are unable to correct this error anywhere online. I called the US Embassy in Manila, and they assured me the spelling is corrected. However, the error still appears. Is there any suggestion to get this corrected? Do we need to be concerned? Thanks again for your help.

No need to worry.  What's most important is the applicant name on the DS-160 form and on the appointment confirmation.  And you already did all you can by calling USEM to correct the misspelling.

 

As for the name on "Appointment Made By", check your fiancee's name on her profile at https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/

Once schedule the name can not be easily corrected.  Did you schedule online or called?     I doubt you will have issue for attending the interview but do make sure the name is corrected during the interview, mention it to the CO, it must be correct on the visa for sure.

 

Make sure the name is correct on the dashboard for the online profile.  And the DS-160 was completed correctly.

Ok thank you. Your advise is always very good. Actually, I called Manila first on 3/18/19 to advise that we were waiting for the Oman police clearance. They asked for my fiancée’s email. She received an email immediately after that with a link to:

https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/ 

The account had already been set up with user name and password.

We logged on to my fiancée’s account after we submitted DS-160. Her last name was spelled incorrectly, presumably by the person that set up the account. We corrected the error. However, unfortunately the misspelling still appears on the interview appointment confirmation.

We are wondering if the error will be corrected if we reschedule the interview. Sounds like a lot of ifs to me.

you're best bet is to mention about the error during the interview,i am sure they will verify the application information during the interview.

 

dont waste the chance of having the interview date.

Do not reschedule your interview for a typo.   As I stated earlier mention this to the CO during the interview, it can get corrected then
