Wrong dates of birth and name misspelled b4 interview - and it's our fault

[phd1974 17]

So, my fiancee finally receives her letter from the US embassy telling her the interview date and where to pay visa fee, etc. We have 3 weeks until our interview ... but there are a few errors on the information they have listed on the letter.

1.) Her name has an extra "t" in it

2.) Two of her kids dates of birth are wrong (the birth years have an extra year added on to them)

Here is the issue: The misinformation is our fault because the information was submitted that way on the I129F form and DS-160 form.

Her name: I have been spelling her name one way ever since I met her and she never corrected me. When filling out the form, again, she did not correct me.

Children DOBs: Apparently, she had a friend of hers type the information to me in Facebook as she told the information to her friend. It looks like she did not look at the DOBs carefully. So for one child, the year of birth says 2008, when it should say 2009 - and other says 2001, when it should say 2002.

I think it is possible to correct her name at the interview, but I am unsure about the children's DOB. My DS-160 has already been submitted several weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions? Do you think I can make the corrections at the embassy when I go for the interview? What courses of action are at my disposal?

You can tell staffs at embassy when they checked all of your docs. Make sure you bring the birth certificates of your fiancée and her kids. She should show to the consulate that she doesn't change her name. I did mistake on my DS -160 form as well and never came up during my interview. There was member here from Indonesia that her name on passport misspelled and embassy asked her changed it according to her birth certificate. I think both of you should be just fine.

You know, there is a phone number you can call from the US, and talk to the embassy here in the DR, 1-877-804-5402 and it will be charged to your credit card. Tell them the issue and ask them instructions on how to fix the names and DOB and what other options you may have. I think since the birth certificates and ID card (cedula) will show the correct names, maybe it will cause a small delay?

Think positive!!
