Mother's name different from passport in DS 160

[nikitadev]

Hi All,

I have already submitted DS-160 and scheduled an appointment as well. But after submitting the application I realised that my mother's name which I entered in DS-160 is different from what is visible in my passport.

DS-160: Geeta Dev
Passport: Lata Indrakumar Dev

All my mother's official documents has Geeta Dev (name after marriage) as her name. But my passport contains Lata Indrakumar Dev.

What should I do? If I make an affidavit stating that both the names belong to the same person would be enough? Please advise soon.

Don't worry about it. They can fix it at the Embassy/consulate when the staff reviews your paperwork. Happens all the time.

Thanks for the response. This means I don't have to fill out a new application or carry any affidavit?

You certainly don't need to fill out another application. If you want to bring an affidavit you can, but it is probably unnecessary.

Hi dear,
was your problem resolved easily without filling another DS-160.
Please let me know, since my friend is also facing the same problem and we just came to know about it.

Thank you
