Why the answers are different between GUZ Speaks and Guz consulate email response? Which one is the right answer? Please tell us, thanks for your time.

Here is the email response from guangzhou consulate about CR1's husband's name was spelled wrong on her CR1 visa.

 

Dear Ms. ***,

 

The typo will not affect your boarding. Please make sure your

bio-information is correct, like your date of birth, gender, and your full name.

 

Below is the answer from GUZ Speaks on candleforlove forum.

Dear CFL,

 

If the name on the visa does not match the name in the passport, it is quite possible that this will cause a problem when your fiancee gets the the U.S. port of entry. So, if there's a typo, you should email the Consulate to arrange to have a new visa printed.

 

Sincerely,

Dear CFL,

 

The answers are actually compatible and probably differ only because the Consulate was likely responding to specific information about a specific case, while the USCONGUZ post was more general in nature.

 

Let me try to tie the two together:

 

In general, misspelled names on a visa can cause problems, particularly if the passport holder's name is the one with the typo. For this reason, applicants are well advised to contact the Consulate to arrange for a corrected visa if they find a typo.

 

However, there are certainly cases where such a typo is not likely to cause a problem. An example might be if on a K1 visa, the petitioner's middle name has a very obvious typo (say, John Micjael Jones, instead of John Michael Jones).

 

In this case, there is almost no chance that the applicant will experience a problem upon entry to the United States, and so it's likely not worth the effort that it would take to return to Guangzhou and have the visa reprinted.

 

Hope this clarifies--

 

Sincerely,

 

USCONGUZ
