Spelling Error

[ForeverAmen 0]

Today we received the letter for my husband's Biometric Appointment. The last letter of his last name is incorrect. It was correct on the NOA 1, but for some reason they got it wrong for his Biometric Appointment. Is this a problem? What's the best approach to fixing the error?

Thanks.

I would mention it to them at the appointment. They should be able to fix it right there. If not, then you should probably make an infopass, just in case. If the card gets printed with the wrong spelling, they will probably make you pay the fees for the corrected card.

Please see my time line about getting the typo corrected. Personally, I would not depend on the correction being made at fingerprints (did not work, although the staff assured it was in the system), but would make an Infopass appointment to take care of this. For me, it took a total of 20 months from the time the initial application was sent off, to get a card with the correct information on it.

I did not have to pay for the correction of the green card because a copy of original form could prove it was their error. But, it took 5 months to correct one letter.

Thanks! I don't like the idea of taking time off from work. The nearest facility for an Infopass is 1.5 hours away. Oh boy .... again thanks for sharing this with me.

I hear you about taking the time off from work. It is a 2+ hr drive each way for us, and I had to go for two Infopass appointments (for travel purposes) during the 20 months it took this process to be done.

Best of Luck!

I know where I went for Biometrics in Naperville, IL, before they took the fingerprints they asked me to verify all the info on the screen from name, to DOB to A#. Maybe then you can explain?

Hmmm .... hope we too have a chance to 'verify all the info'.

Thanks.
