Spellin Error and Address Change Reports Not Confirmed

[birdlover2008 2]

Hi All,

I got my NOA1 on Oct. 9 and realized that they had misspelled my first name under were it says petitioner's name and then misspelled my last name under the small box to the right corner confirming the payment. So I called an reported it on the phone the next Monday but I have not heard anything from them yet, saying that they got my request to fix the spelling error. However, my name was spelled correctly on my biometrics notice. I did my bio on sept. 11 and mentioned it the lady that did my fingerprints. Her answer was that if it is correct on the bio notice then "not to worry about it". But I realize that the waiting time is between 9-11 months, which means I could be using my extension letter as a gc for a while now. Should I push for another copy of an extension letter with corrected name spelling.

And, I moved to a new place in Oct and I changed my address online. But I have not received any confirmation from them saying that my address has been changed....that worries me.

Please advice. Thank you!

You can verify the change of address by calling the same number that they give for changing the address. It's been awhile since I did this, but I believe the number I called was the USCIS customer service number: 1-800-375-5283. The first few times I got a person who claimed that they couldn't verify my information, but eventually I got through to someone who knew how. Ask for an immigration officer. I think some of the people working the lines are just hourly staff who aren't sure how to do anything but enter the info. They should be able to confirm your name too.
