Father's name misspelled on my passport, parents scheduled for b2 visa

[chinni87]

I am on H4 visa and my husband is sponsoring my parents for b2 visa.
My father's first name on my passport is: Jagadeeshwararao and
on his passport is: Jagadhiswararao.

So there is a spelling mistake, it has been as in my passport on all my school certificates, but my dad has his name as in his passport on all his documents.

but surnames are same on both of our passports. Will this be a problem for their b2 visa? Please help. I have a situation where they cannot delay visit to US and thus we are sending them for interview by the end of July.

Thanks,
Chinni.

U.S. consulate in India is very well aware of such name variations.

In any case, please prepare one affidavit: https://www.immihelp.com/sample-one-...s-immigration/

This is first name misspelling

This first name misspelling of my father in all my documents is not a cultural variation of his name as nothing else has been added. Please helpe on how else can I approach?

10 yr multiple entry visa

Thank you immihelp. My parents got stamped for 10 yrs multiple entry b1/b2 class. They did not even care for the misspelling of my fathers name on my passport.

Good luck to everyone who has similar situation.

I am writing this for the benefit of others who may be in the same situation in future.

Sample affidavit has been provided so that you can get the idea of how to write your own based on your situation. It is not possible to make hundreds of different affidavits for all different combinations of problems that people have so that they can just copy/paste the affidavit. That means, you need to modify the affidavit a little bit to fit your situation.

In your particular case, you can write something like "As Telugu is a phonetic language and English is not, there is more than one way to spell the Telugu name in English. Therefore, it was spelled as Jagadeeshwararao in some documents while as Jagadhiswararao in other documents such as passport."

Congratulations! I am glad that they got the visa. Before they come to the U.S., consider buying visitors insurance for them, available for instant purchase at https://www.insubuy.com
