I-797 last name miss spelled by USCIS

[TTgreen2023 15]

Hey guys! 

I filled ROC package  in December, 2021 and got assigned to LIN! and they misspelled my last name on the I-797, notice of action,  I recevied!  The biometric form had the same mistake. I had my fingers taken though. I tried to ask the guy at the local office who took my fingers to change the error. He said it is systematic and I have to go through USCIS to change. I am 1000 % percent the mistake is by their side since I have kept a copy of my apllication. I filed a typo error report. It has been two months! Nothing has made change about my name on my I-797!   so frustrated! I am worried my 10 year green card will come with wrong last name..... Any one in my situation? Please leave a comment if so! Thanks!

I had the same thing happen to me. USCIS has an online tool to request corrections on typographic errors https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayTypoForm.do

It took USCIS 2 days after I submitted to acknowledge the correction and the case status was updated saying "Name was updated"

experiencing the same issue here - did they re-issue you the corrected I797 after  their system correction?

The error in my name was fairly minor; they had transposed two letters. In their reply to my request (which I received by email), they said "The error is minor, and the document is still valid". The case status was updated to show the name on the filing was updated.
