mangz Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have been residing in USA under H4 visa since October-2011. My Indian passport on which the visa was issued left my surname column empty and instead added my surname along with first name in the Given name column. Given Name: <First_Name> <Surname> Surname: So I got my visa issued as FNU<First_Name><Surname>. My Texas state issued Id card too reflects the same. On June 2012 I obtained a new passport from Indian Consulate, Houston, with the correction to the surname and Given name done. My visa expires by October 2013 and I hope to extend it. Will the Name correction be reflected on to my visa when I give it for extension? Also, My visa is still stamped to the old passport which is now cancelled, Can it be stamped to the new passport? I have been accepted for Graduate studies for Fall 2013 and hope to claim in-state tuition fee. Will this issue affect my eligibility to claim in-state tuition fee? I have degree certificates, Marriage certificates etc with the correct name as proof to show. I appreciate any assistance that would be provided regarding this matter. Thank you Mangz Gopal Link to comment
