Possible Misspelled Name, Help

I received an NOA1 this week. My fiance is from Mexico her name is (for example)

Jane Mary Doe.

On the NOA1, her name was spelled Jane Doe which is incorrect, right?

Should I even bother calling to clarify this? Her name in a First Name Last Name basis is Jane Mary.

Although I indicated on the G325 her middle name as Mary, I was under the impression her full name Jane Mary Doe would be listed.

What a headache. Will I delay my case trying to fix this, or should I address this later?

I would let it go. It seems like every form I got has a different version of the name: middle name written out, just an initial, one or both last names used, etc.

My case was the same. Don't worry about it. They generally don't put middle names on the NOA1, and no, it wont affect your petition :)

The NOA1 doesn't list the middle name, only the first and last. Using your example of Jane Mary Doe as her name, then the last name should have been Mary Doe...not just Doe (since in Mexico there are 2 last names). By this example, there is no middle name.

You should be able to correct this at the embassy stage.

I called to correct the same issue at the very beginning, it was resolved and set correctly in the systems, didn't effect processing time at all, my fiance has 2 last names as well. :)

Jesus! So, I should call the number listed on the NOA1 can tell them: "hey, my name is so and so and I filed this petition, can you change the last name to X X instead of Y as it is listed?

Thanks.

How would correcting the issue at the embassy stage be done?

Creating an addendum to the I-134 page? or is there an D260 form name modification?

Thanks.

I honestly don't recall the exact process, but I called the number on the NoA1 as you mentioned, and told them that the last name was wrong, and they corrected it. All future mailings and whatnot were all set. :)

I hate to bug you, but how many days after the NOA1 did you make the call? If I call tomorrow, it will have been a week since receiving my NOA1. Yesterday, in the system, I was assigned an ARN number, alien registration.

I feel like I screwed up. jesus.

Relaaaax... the ARN is automatically assigned as soon as they put your petition into the system. When they correct it, they'll correct it in the database so it'll fix everything that they print out in the future. It's JUST an issue with how their systems interpret last names.

I called about a week later, I was away visiting family when the letter came.

At this point they're JUST picking up your petition, its unlikely anyone will even look at it for a few months. The IO's are horribly understaffed and working through the backlog as fast as they can.
