Name on renewed passport different from one on I-129F petition

Hi all,

Sorry if this has been answered before. My original I-129F petition for my fiance in Saudi Arabia has been approved. Currently in the NVC process. I applied using her first and last name, XXX ZZZ. This was before her passport expired.

Her passport expired a month after I applied, and she renewed it. She has a Pakistani passport and for some reason in Pakistan they often leave the "surname" blank. This was the case for her before renewal. Her full name, "XXX ZZZ", were both listed under "given name". Someone at the passport renewal department told her two things:

1) She must have a surname in order to immigrate to the US

2) She must have three names total (first & middle, which will go under 'given name', and a last name)

Because of this, she put her family name of "XXX" under "surname", and now it's different from my petition. In Pakistan's eyes, her name is XXX YYY ZZZ. In the US' eyes, her name is now YYY ZZZ XXX.

Do I need to have her change her passport to have "ZZZ" under the surname and "YYY" under the given name? Or will this not be an issue? Or can I addend this "XXX" name to her petition?

Thank you very much

Marriage certificate name slightly misspelled

I filed a fiance visa petition for my fiance, Aliza H. They approved my petition and am waiting for NVC to create the case.

My concern is regarding the birth certificate spelling of her name, which is spelled with two ee's (Aleeza) instead of an i in her first name. Last name is spelled correctly. All her other documents show that it's spelled with one i.

Do I have to have her birth certificate changed? Or is it not an issue as the spelling with two e's and one "i" is very subjective and common amongst Pakistani documents. Her goal is to permanently reside in the US here with me.

Thank you!

The NVC returned my case to USCIS.

(I-130 US Citizen applying for spouse)

In Nov 2019, I received a letter from the NVC. They returned my case to USCIS upon request.

I contacted USCIS multiple times and they still had not received my case.

In April 2020, I contacted USCIS. They stated, "Our records indicate that on May 10, 2017, your case was sent to National Visa Center. Our records do not show the file being returned."

I contacted the NVC again; they told me the case is with the USCIS.

I called the USCIS again; they transfered me to a higher tier officer. The officer stated that my case is with the NVC and their records dont show the case being returned. The officer also told me that I should be receiving an interview date. I am confused because the NVC status info on the ceac website states that the NVC is waiting for supporting documents.

But calling the NVC, they are telling me the case is not with them.

What should I do? I think my case is lost.

note:

I have a case number and paid all the fees. I also submitted IV application. My next step was submitting civil and financial documents.
