Translator misspelled my first name on my certified birth certificate

[waitingforastar 1]

Hi, I had my birth certificate translated and certified in my home country but in the translation they misspelled my first name. To be fair, in English you can spell my first name in many ways and this particular translator chose one way but it differs from all my U.S. identity cards. The translator's translation of my name phonetically sounds the same. I needed to have this done because I am a permanent resident of the U.S. who married my now wife who is an 0-1 visa holder (her visa runs out on August 1st). I have to turn in my certified translated birth certificate with my wife's application as her petitioner by the end of this month. I wonder if this name translation is a huge deal or if I should try to get it re-translated in time? I wonder how lenient they are with such mistakes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can just reach out to the same translator, tell him how you want it written so that it keep sin line with other documents and hopefully, free of charge

Why to submit the doc with wrong info? You can have it translated by anyone if it's for the USCIS.
