I see. I recommend taking care of it and make spelling match. I am not sure why he does not request a french birth certificate (Tunisia provides arabic and french versions, for the french version you can tell them how to spell the name ) and then use that for english translation and all other immigration stuff. That's how I did from Fiance visa to citzenship and family visa applications. Easier for every body and cleaner Good luck

Can you clarify more the spelling in : birth certificate, passport and application. What is not matching? I am assuming his birth certificate does not match the passport, you should fix the passport first. he cannot travel if the passport is about to expire anyways (6month I think so it is better to fix that now and take care of it)

I checked with the embassy and they confirmed they printed name even though it is missing "EP" is correct and that's how they do it. Just in case someone faces this issue

Hi All, This is specific to TUNISA. So if there is members from Tunisia that went through this please share your feedback. Tunisian passport has a different way to fill "surname" then other countries for married women. It will have maiden name + "EP" + last name of the husband. See example below: Maiden Name: AAA BBB Husband name: CCC DDD In the passport will be: Surname AAA BBB EP DDD (which means AAA BBB married to DDD ). My issue is that in the US immigrant VISA did not do the same which makes passport surname mismatches visa Family name . In the passport they put Family name: AAA BBB DDD . There is no EP) Thanks
