Different Mother's Name in Birth and Marriage Certificates

[bowgirl 8]

My mother's name in my birth certificate is ROSIEVILLA. Then in 2008, she requested birth certificate and discovered that her name is ROSEDILLA so she started using that name and I also used her real name on my Marriage Certificate. My question is, I have already sent my papers to NVC, would different mother's names in bc and mc be an issue? Thanks.

We almost got the same problem Chris&Beth, but they said the only thing that matter was your identity and not about your family.

In my BC, my mother's religion was Roman Catholic but she is a INC, In my BC it's written that she was born in Cebu City, but the fact is, she was born in Surigao Del Sur.

And the worst part is, My middle name starts with letter J but when I got my NSO copy it was U. In my certified copy of BC they just put letter J to make my middle name correct, but they didn't inform the Civil registrar, until I found out in the year 2000 when I got my first passport and obtain a copy of my BC at NSO,my middle name was incorrect because at that time I was like 20 years old and I didn't know that much about these stuff, all I know is I'm going to work abroad I didn't know it wil cause me troubles and I used that name since 2000 up to June this year. I went back to the Philippines to amend my middle name before we filed I-130 and it was approved.

I think you will be fine but it will be more ok if you will consult some people who really knows about these thing.

by the way, I am confuse with your timeline, you got you NOA-2 on Sep.10,2009, then your case was received in NVC on Aug. 26,2009? How is that?

It was approved on August 17 so they forwarded it to NVC and received on August 26. But we were not notified that our petition was approved (no email), maybe because of physical address change. I think they sent us NOA2 on August 18 but was returned to their office because my husband was no longer in that address. We came to know that we were approved when my husband received hardcopy of NOA2 on September 10.

This whole wrong spelling bothers me a lot. I hope they won't ask for new BC with my mother's corrected name because it will take time. Thanks for the reply though.

I suggest you better correct spellings bcz 2 things in US GOVERNMENT are main things 1- NAME SPELLINGS 2- Dates . I hope things will work out for you.
