Hi I'm a student trying to get an immigrant visa to be with my father in the U.S, but I have one problem, my visa was refused because I was missing a single document (cenomar) and the embassy requested me to just mail it alongside my passport when I get it, the problem is, I made a mistake in typing out my name resulting in my middle initial to be R instead of O, and I already submitted it to CEAC without even realizing the error, so I'm just a little worried if I'd face a big trouble if I mail them the original copy of my cenomar, and I just want to hear the thoughts of some adult here that maybe can tell me something about what might happen.

Maybe include a cover sheet explaining the issue when you respond to the RFE.

 

Good Luck!

It’s understandable to feel anxious about this situation, but the good news is that minor errors like this can often be corrected without significant issues. The mistake in your middle initial ("R" instead of "O") is a small discrepancy, but it’s important to address it proactively. When you mail the required document (CENOMAR) and your passport, include a short explanation letter. In the letter, clearly state the error you made on the CEAC form, mention your correct middle initial, and provide a copy of a supporting document (such as a birth certificate or government-issued ID) that shows your full, accurate name. Apologize for the mistake and politely request that they update their records. Additionally, check the embassy’s website or contact their support team to confirm if there is a specific process for correcting errors. Ensure you mail everything the embassy requested as soon as possible, including the original CENOMAR, your passport, the explanation letter, and any supporting documents. While the correction may cause a slight delay in processing, minor discrepancies like this typically do not result in visa denial if addressed promptly. Monitor the status of your application on CEAC after mailing your documents, and if you don’t receive an update within a reasonable timeframe, follow up with the embassy directly. Being upfront about the mistake and providing the correct information should help resolve the issue smoothly.

Hello sir/ma'am, I have done what you've said and already shipped it to the embassy, and thankyou so much for the response, this is really helpful for my situation

 

 

If I may ask, how long does it usually take for them to be able to send my passport with my visa back to me with this kind of case that I'm having?

Only God and the embassy knows 
you have already done all the hard yards, be patient and let the process run. Trying to overthink and all will not help in any which way. I really hope it comes soon.
