Now I'm getting really :wacko::blink: First, NVC mailed me the NOA2 with a BIG mispelling of his last name. Assuming my husband's name is JONES, NVC spelled it NOJES. OK, this is only the first "hiccup", let's forgive them? I mail them a polite letter anyway, with a photocopy of my husband's birth certificate to straighten up their records. Did they pay attention?... :innocent:

From the letter I received last week from the Bureau of Consular Affairs, informing me that his file has been transfered to US consulate in country X, the answer is NO. They mispelled his name incorrectly again! Now his name has become "JOENS" :o (and I though I was the only one intoxicated.... :lol: )

I know African names can be confusing at times, but in the case of my husband it is real simple.

Has this happened to you?

Should I write to the consulate?

Sometimes I think I know everything, and I regain consciousness. Seen it all, done it all, forgot most of it....

So much plenitude, yet so much emptiness

Sometimes they make mistakes writing the letters, but the name is spelled correctly in the computers. Call the DOS Visa office at 202-663-1225. Reference the case number and ask them how the name is spelled in their computer. If it's wrong, write the consulate immediately and ask them to change it. You will want his name to match the one on the passport. If they have an incorrect name at the interview, they will have to redo security checks and will delay things.

Thank you so much for your response, I'll call the # tomorrow. My husband and I sent an email to the consulate (no response yet). You're probably right, his name was spelled correctly on the NOA1 for both I-130 and I-129, and NOA2 for I-130. I can't explain why they messed up now.... :huh:

Also, his name is a typical last name in his country (like Anderson or Smith here). The consulate, if familiar with the area, should spot the error right away. I hope.

(I had the same problem with my son's name at school here, but this is America so I can understand)
