Wrong information on visa

[notdutch 0]

I filed for an IR-1 visa for my wife at the Amsterdam consulate by DCF. She just got her passport back with the visa in it, however, the visa says has Dutch nationality which is wrong. Will this cause a problem at the POE or later on? Do we have to fix it before she enters the US? We're trying to contact the consulate,  but they usually don't respond to emails at this hour.

Yes, you need to get that wrong nationality and any other errors on the visa sorted bedore she travels.

 

I hope you didn't book a ticket or anything else like that before checking if all the details on the visa are correct?

Where was the passport from?

She is an Argentine citizen, with an Argentine passport.

Interesting!  I would want to get that fixed for sure.  Yes it can cause an issue.

Does causing an issue mean she gets rejected at the port of entry, or difficulties later on?

Difficulties later on.  Her green card may end up with the incorrect information which may make either ROC or citizenship difficult or impossible. It's important that the information on the visa be correct.

Anything could happen and alternatively nothing might happen. Are you willing to risk it? She could conceivably be refused entry, are you willing to bear that emotional, financial and physical harm that can do?

 

In this COVID age when changing plane tickets is almost without cost, I would rather change her departure date and get this problem fixed than risk a disaster at port of entry or later. Not worth it in my opinion.
