Misspelled last name on birth certificate

[chriseph 0]

We are currently working to submit the supporting civil documents for my father to come to the US. Will it be a problem during the interview that his lastname is misspelled on his Birth certificate? His passport and marriage certificate has the correct spelling. It takes 4 months to get it corrected.

will a affidavit of support from an atty. Work?

his last name and your maiden names should have been the same and that will be a major issue.

Name on the NSO BC normally prevails, How did he able to secure a passport?

Hi, thanks for answering. I don't know how they were able to get a passport(he's had one for 30 years). I actually meant to say power of atty instead of affidavit. But anyways, we will try it again, do the power of atty. and see if it works. And maybe get a birth and death certificate of both his parents showing that they only screwed up on his BC.

It should be an Affidavit of Oneness (of the correct name as per passport and BC name); but what on BC is the basis of name in general.

Your family here in PH should consult LRC and discuss with them the pros and cons and what are your options. This is not just a minor typo since this is his family name. Trying to go around it this time again can further delay your immigration petition. I am sure they already know the typo at least 30 years ago and yet just put it behind since.

Hi, what is LRC? We are really stressing out about it. Trying to decide if we should just go ahead and hope they will overlook the error, (it should've been Genaro but they typed Genarro) . I told my father to just go get it fix but his parents complicated a lot of things for him. Using a different name when he went to school and his baptismal(which is required by the NSO to get your BC fixed) and it will take 4 months to have it corrected.

Local Civil Registrar (LRC), this is in the town where his BC was registered.

Well the family name is almost the same just the 2 R; better talk to the LRC they will advise them the right thing to do. DO IT RIGHT- you will just aggravating the situation by trying to risk it all. What is 4 months? You are in a hurry for? They have all the past years knowing that mistake and did not do anything, and I assume you know when you too that you will petition him on the right time.

It will cause more problems later on. What is on legal docs prevails.
