Company Misspelt in I797

[krutis88]

Hi,

My Company name is Misspelt in the I797. Will that cause a hindrance in my stamping.
I havent got any response from the Immigration Office as well. Had been there twice.

If someone could help me with this issue or have gone through the same.

Thanks
Kruti

You need to get this corrected before appearing for the visa interview. If the company mis-spelled it when they filed the petition, then they need to file an H1B amendment. If it was USCIS's mistake, they will correct it for free.

In the petition filed. It is spelt correctly. It is a typo on USCIS's part but they are not ready to do any change.They just say one thing when I go to the immigration office that its a spelling mistake not a major issue.

How to go about with this?

Thanks

Ask the company attorney to follow-up with USCIS. If it was their mistake, then they will usually correct it for no cost. If they won't, then the only available option is to carry a copy of the filed I-129 and explain it to the VO that you filed the form I-129 correctly, but USCIS made a spelling mistake on the company name in the approval notice. Explain them that USCIS not ready to correct the approval notice.

If you can get a written notice frm USCIS that is okay, then it will help a lot (Maybe an email).

Would just an email exchange where in he states that it would not be a problem work well?
Coz the attorney is not taking the case ssly and constantly just says that it is not a big issue as you are thinking.

Thanks
