Hi Everyone. Looking for anyone that can offer advice. I have filed my mine and my fiance's I-129f (as well as G-325 etc) form with the wrong middle name for the beneficiary. I thought all along his middle name was his fathers name (Joseph) but then when we received the full birth certificate its actually John. I am still in initial review waiting for my NOA2 so I am not sure what the best thing to do is?

I have read other threads on VJ about the middle name being spelled incorrectly etc, but the advice has been mixed. Some people say to call the USCIS right away and explain the "typo" and others have said to just wait until the interview stage and have it corrected then.

Any advice?

Just in case anyone needs an answer to my question above.

I called USCIS today and they instructed me to send in a cover letter explaining what needs to be amended, along with a copy of our NOA1 we received as well as a copy of the birth certificate.

Thanks for this post. We actually have the same problem now, well kinda! I didn't write anything on the middle name field because (technically) I do not have one. I only have one given name. the problem is in my country (Philippines), they refer to the mother's maiden name as the middle name. I followed the format on how they write their name in the US. I guess my fiance (USC) still need to call to verify this.

Not an issue. Calling to USCIS is useless since they have not means to match your conversation with your petition package.

Send a corrected form IF you get an RFE. Otherwise, send a corrected form to the interview.

I'm trying to get a hold of a customer service representative right now but all I hear is that automated response. it asks for the receipt number but it always says i didn't enter enough digits. i swear i'm punching in 10 numbers! i just want to make corrections before we even get an RFE :(

You need to make sure you are using the numbers on your telephone keypad that correspond with the 3 letters in fron of your receipt number for example mine was: WACxxxxxx9949, so I had to type in 922 (WAC) and then my 10 digit receipt number.

Funny enough the same night that I made the phone call to the USCIS I got my NOA2, so like you said we will be correcting this at interview stage since we didn't get a RFE.
