  • Name in DS156

    Hi. I am Ashok Verma and I have an appointment for a US Visa interview scheduled on June 05, 2006 at 10:00 am at the American Consulate General, Chennai.

    While taking the appointment the name in the passport was as follows:
    Surname: ASHOK VERMA
    Given Names:
    Therefore, I entered the name in the DS156 and DS157 as stated in the Passport.

    Later, I got the name bifurcated from the Passport Office and the same is now endorsed on the Passport as follows:
    Surname: VERMA
    Given Name: ASHOK
    I could split and correct the name in DS157 but I am unable to split and correct the name in DS156.

    How do I correct this issue without cancelling the appointment?

    A quick reply is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    Thank you for your email.

    Modification on the application forms cannot be done from question 1-14 on the DS 156 only from question 15 modifications can be done and on the other forms you can make the necessary modifications. You can retrieve your forms can make the modifications 2 working days prior to your scheduled appointment. If it is for the Mumbai consulate then 5 working days prior to the scheduled appointment.

    Thanking You,

    Regards

    THIS REPLY FROM VFS DOESN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION. DO I NEED TO CANCEL AND RESCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE NAME ISSUE?

    ANY SOLUTIONS???

          Is cancellation of the appointment only way to correct the name on DS156?

          Awaiting your reply to take further action.
