HELP!!! Mis spelling on the visa

[Delane70 0]

My fiance was looking at the visa in her passport and my last name has a little typing mistake. one letter is an "e" when it should be a "a". Will this be a problem? To top this off her plane ticket is for sept 10...

I honestly don't know. I think you should call the embassy and ask. Maybe they can correct it in time if they think it will be a problem.

A VJ member named "micheltsmith" had his middlle name misspelled in his wife's visa but the embassy said it was no problem. Maybe it's another story if the name that was misspelled was your fiancee's. Here's link to the blog of micheltsmith regarding the misspelling

Greetings!

PAsted from US Embassy,Manila:

ERRONEOUS VISA

To avoid delay in travel, immediately check the information printed on the visa upon its receipt to ensure accuracy of the data. Biographic information on the visa should match the information found on the passport biographic page. Discrepancies on the visa must be immediately corrected.

There was an error on my stepson's K2 visa when my husband picked their visas up... he was listed as female! We got it corrected. Both the Consulate and the CPB officer who inspected us at JFK and whom I asked specifically about whether it was important, said it was important to get visa errors corrected.

We went through a different Asian post and had a similar time concern about plane tickets. In our case at least, the Consulate seemed much more responsive to the USC. They gave my then fiance the run-around for a couple of WEEKS until I went in and told them about the plane tickets and walked out with the corrected visa 15 minutes later. If you're not in Thailand, I'd call, fax or email the Consulate and explain the situation.

A misspelled name may not be as serious as a gender mistake, but the visa is such an important document for other things once your fiancee arrives here in the US. We needed it for getting the SSN, adding my husband to my bank account, getting driver's license, etc... not to mention AOS, which is through USCIS (not the State Dept who made the error) all of which are opportunities for some official to raise an issue about the misspelling. I would go to the trouble of fixing even a minor error now.

Just my $.02...

Best wishes!

It is probably better the minor mistake was in your name not hers, contact the embassy as others have advised and it should be an easy fix!

Congratulations, you have to be pretty darn happy she is almost here!
