Mother's first name discrepancy

[AFCF 273]

Hello. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate section to post my question but it's specifically about my birth certificate from PSA.

 

We're in the process of applying for K1 petition. I just want to ask if I will encounter problems if my mother's first name is misspelled on my birth certificate? (for example: "Edytha" on my birth certificate and baptismal certificate, but her real name and everything on her documents is "Edyta"). I applied for US visas (J1 and B2) before and put "Edyta" as my mother's name on the DS-160. Now I'm worried that it might affect my interview phase when they need my birth certificate, whenever that will be. I read some posts here that one person had her mother's nickname on her birth certificate and she didn't encounter any problems at all. Do I just need to get an affidavit of discrepancy? I just want to be sure so I can address it while there's still plenty of time.

 

Thank you so much.

You may not have any issues with the typo of your mother's name on your BC.    Biggest concern is that your name be correct.

 

But if you want it corrected you need to file a petition with the local civil registry office of the city or municipality where the birth is registered.

 

Here is info from PSA

Your mom is not applying for a Visa,  you are.  If your information is correct (names, birthday etc..) then you should expect no difficulty

I figured. I was just worried because I saw a post somewhere about their speculations (one of them was somehow similar to my case) on why someone was having a hard time at the embassy phase. Thank you so much, sir!

There's a typo in my birth certificate too. Apparently, my mother's name has atleast 8 variations. No two documents have the same spelling of her name. Not even my mom's passport, voters i.d., and PSA birth cert. One document says "rosife", other says "rosefe" other says "rose fe", other says "rosie fe", etc.

As a result, my birth cert too has a messed up spelling of her name. My sisters too. 

 

Probably, nobody in this world knows the real spelling of her name. (My grandparents are already dead).

 

I got my b1, b1/b2, k1 Visa, as well as, greencard with zero issues.

More fun in the Philippines! Lol. Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post. I was hoping for a firsthand experience answer like yours. I definitely feel much better now. Haha. I've been bugging my mom for days.

 

Thank you so much! God bless you. ☺️
