How to update wife’s name at NVC? Please help!

[elin123 0]

Hello everyone. My sister filed i-130 long time ago (almost 12 years ago). She was using a lawyer. I am located in Russia now and since my priority date became current, I started the next process. I found out that that lawyer put the wrong first and last name for my wife. She actually used my mother’s name 🙄 

 

Does anyone know how I can update my wife’s name? I don’t want to pay that lawyer again. Can I use NVC’s public inquire form?

 

Thanks so much!!!

Your sister needs to contact the NVC since she is the petitioner and signed and reviewed the form..

Thank you for your response. Can I just use a public inquire form and ask them to update my wife’s name and attach our marriage certificate? My sister contacted the lawyer and she said we can use the public inquiry form. But she won’t be doing that since she is not representing us anymore. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html  I meant this link

You can try. You wife is a derivative.
