Name spelled incorrectly on 18 month visa extension

[angusdonald13 19]

Hey everyone, 

 

just after a bit of help on what to do. So I received my notice of action with the 18 month visa extension (filed in early august) My first name is spelled incorrectly, so i did the typographic error form. Last status update was 54 days ago which said my name was updated. 
 

Just received my biometrics appt but the name was still spelled incorrectly and have since completed another typographic form.  
 

My visa and drivers license expires on 25th October. I doubt the dmv will renew my license with a spelling error on the form that is also my proof of residency. Does anyone think I could get this fixed up at my biometrics appointment? All I need is just another copy of the form but with my name spelled correctly.

Ah, feel sorry for you. My experience is that USCIS doesn’t really have systems in place to fix their own mistakes, and even when they (often?) make errors, they are veeeery slow to correct them.

 

My last name was spelled wrong on my I-797, and it was such a hassle to get it fixed. Basically I was given an InfoPass appointment, the rude InfoPass lady told me I didn’t qualify for an ADIT stamp, so she claimed she was calling MSC/National Benefits Center to get me a re-printed extension letter.

 

Such a letter did actually show up in the mail, but when I got my biometrics rescheduled, the appointment letter had the old spelling. I mentioned about this when my biometrics were taken, and the contractor said he can’t change the name on file, but he can put the correct name in as an alias. So who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️ 

 

My case status for I-751 has been Name Was Updated for more than five months now. Even my biometrics app’t early August didn’t prompt a change in case status.
