We got DQ in December 2021 and are waiting for an Interview Letter for my wife for an IR1 visa. On my wife's Birth Certificate, her mother's birth name, the middle (maiden) name is misspelled. I won't give you her actual name, but for example: Wife's mother's real birth name: Mary Elaine Roa Name as shown on my wife's BC: Mary Laine Roa We DID put the CORRECT name on both I-130 and DS-260 and related forms, and everything was accepted. So I'm just worried that on the day of her interview, things may get delayed because of that. But after reading some threads here, it seems that if some supporting information is made ready, such as her mother's birth certificate (which may or may not be available) and baptismal certificate, and perhaps some affidavits, then we need not worry, and need not even try to correct the error. We were told by the local registrar that it could take UP TO A YEAR to correct the birth certificate, but if we got a lawyer that is close to Office of the Civil Registrar General in Manila, it might be much faster. At this point, I'm leaning towards getting all the stuff ready to request the change ourselves, and have copies of everything ready for the interview. I'd like to ask for general recommendations (what to do). Thank you.
