Hi there everyone!

I received a letter from the Dept. of State and I noticed my first name was mispelled which I figured was a typo due to an extra letter added to my name (I am the petitioner).

How do I go about this? Should I give them a call about the mistake? I know my NOA1 and NOA2 had my name spelled correctly,

but I don't know how significant this is and whether I need to contact the Dept. of State, U.S. Consulate oversea or NVC about it.

To me, it seems like just a regular letter notifying me about the status of the K1 Visa petition, how it is being forward to the U.S. Consulate in Amsterdam in order to continue for the next stage (Packet 3).

The letter has the Case number, USCIS Receipt number, Principal Applicant's name, Petitioner's name (mispelled) and the Interview Location.

I figured mistake like this has happened before and I hope someone can shed some light on this issue. Thanks!

If your NOA2 has the correct name, then I would not worry about it. The NOA2 is the important letter you need for filing AOS later. You do not need the letter from the NVC for anything else. Sounds like if your name was correct on everything else up to that point, then it really was just a simple typo by someone. You can contact the NVC about it, just to check and make sure your name is entered in their system correctly for your case, but I do not think it is a must thing to do.

Thank you! I figured it was not that important but just in case, I will give the NVC office a call. smile.png
