AOS for parent of U.S. Citizen

Hello everyone,  

 

I am currently in the process of filing adjustment of status for my mother.  As i've been filling out all the information, I noticed that there is a typo on her B1/B2 Visa and, consequently, her I-94.  It appears as follows (note, this is just an example, names have been changed):

 

Name on Passport: Laura E. Rodriguez

 

Name on B1/B2 and I-94: Lara E. Rodrigez (missing the U in Laura, and missing a U in Rodriguez).  

 

The B1/B2 card shows her correct Birthdate, and her Signature (which spells out the correct name).

 

1. Will this be an issue when going through the Adjustment of Status process?  

 

2. Should I include her misspelled name as shown on the B1/B2 card on the "OTHER NAMES USED" sections of the forms?

 

I'm thinking that USCIS will be able to cross-reference the birthdate shown on the Passport and B1/B2 card, as well as the photos on each document to verify identity, but just wanted to see if any of you have had similar situations.

In retrospect, why wasn't her name properly looked at when she received the visa in her home country?... Her visa came with clear directions to look for errors and report immediately. 

 

Well the way I see it, she entered the US with no intention to stay and prolly due to present situation she is filling AOS. So file with her name the way it appears on her passport with the 'u'.

 

Hopefully it is enough. if not, the worst is you get an RFE prolly asking for more documents to prove name or change of name documents which you will have to provide. 

 

You can also include a letter in her AOS explaining the discrepancy.
