Mispelling of name

[moroccogirlny 100]

My fiance just told me that when he went to get his police record in Morocco they spelled his name wrong reversing two letters(ei instead of ie). He told them that it was wrong on his passport and country ID card, they told him to change his passport and country ID card. But now his interview is in two weeks and his papers that I filed have the spelling of his current passport and ID. Will this be a problem with the consulate if they see that the first name is spelled Mouhcien on his papers and Mouhcein on his police record?

That is a tough issue to crack with all the reviews going on...what spelling is on his birth certificate? I wonder how much emphasis is placed on it and from what I know about getting doccuments issued in Morocco it will be very stressful to get it done in 2 weeks...I hope some other ladies would know a little bit more about that...

When we got the letter from NVC they had added an "a" where it didn't belong in Abdel's last name. I sent an e-mail to the consulate to let them know what the correct spelling was. They actually replied. All the reply said was "Thank you", but that was enough to let me know they knew. I asked a few questions about what I needed to do but they didn't answer those. Apparently the e-mail was sufficient.

If I was you I'd send an e-mail to the consulate telling them exactly what you just told us. Arabic names are transliterated to English anyway, so there are multiple spellings for the same name. I wouldn't worry too much.

But his birth certicate has the correct spelling, now he has to change his passport and ID card to spell the same way. He has only 2 weeks for the interview. Will they delay his case?

Hi Leila! Any luck with this situation...I think your fiance should contact the consulate and ask them for assistance...he will be able to speak with someone in french or arabic...and see what they would say...keep us posted of how things are progressing
