issue,

wife is trying to change the last name on her foreign passport to 'hughes' in Ukraine, but it can only be written as 'khiuis'. All paperwork sent in has her as hughes, what can we do, or will they give her a paper to cover that mistake ?

She can keep the English version as long as she presents documents from the USA where the last name is written in certain way.

I needed to keep my name written based on old transliteration rules, so I had no problem in Ukraine doing that. All I did is show the marriage certificate and IDs from USA.

Also, FYI, if she did not changed her name in Ukrainian (internal ) passport than she can not apply for travel (foreign) passport with new last name, since she needs to present ukrainian passport that should have a name match with future travel passport (AND also ukrainian "SNN" should also match the same name).

Працівник міграційної служби, який уповноважений здійснювати прийом документів з оформлення закордонного паспорту має право змінити транслітерацію імені та прізвища тільки на письмове прохання особи, відповідно до їх написання в документах, виданих компетентними органами іноземної держави. При цьому, такі документи повинні подаватися разом із перекладом на українську мову, оформленому у встановленому порядку. Підставою не можуть бути документи України, видані раніше, у тому числі водійські права та закордонні паспорти.

Read more on transliteration and corrections made by the officer in Ukraine here (if you speak / read ukrainian) : http://dmsu.gov.ua/novyny/u-rehionakh/370-poltavska-oblast/3719-transliteratsiya-imen-ta-prizvishch-u-zakordonnomu-pasporti

As I said, they DO change the way names are written upon special request and by presenting documents from foreign country that confirm the spelling. This is from the State Migration Service of Ukraine and I am sure at the local office they will not disobey the providing on their own Service. I did change my name and had no problem as I said.

Also I googled the November, and see nothing that would contradict the info I already told. If she has ZERO legal documents (such as Marriage Licence or IDs issued in the USA, than I doubt they will do anything, and no explanatory statements will be issued, unfortunately).

If your wife is in Ukraine, have her call local State Migration Service and ask them directly.

Cheers and good luck.
