Slight Inconsistency in Mother's Surname Spelling

[YezidiYankee 3]

Hello,

 

I have put myself in a slightly confusing situation by not being careful enough to fill out all of my documents consistently. I am almost ready to submit the I-485 and I-765 for my K-1 beneficiary wife. Both documents ask for the petitioner's mother's name. The concern I have is that on our original I-129f we used one version of the transliteration from Arabic, and on the marriage certificate we used a different transliteration, which is the one that matches her mother's current passport. It's the difference between a Q/K and an i/e; both transliterations are pronounced the same. I assume the most important thing is that the petitioner's information is correct, which it is, but I would like to avoid having to deal with an RFE for this inconsistency, because her mother doesn't support our relationship and likely won't cooperate. So my question is, should we:

• stick with the version of her name we used on our original application, or
• go with the more recent transliteration that appears on her passport, and which we used on the marriage certificate?

Thanks.

1. Most recent. Explain in additional info section the discrepancy. 

2. Discrepancy is non issue unless she decides to sponsor her mother when she become eligible.
