liyaqat Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Hi, I have a question regarding the First(Given) Name on my I-797. Here's how my name is spelled on the passport: First(Given) Name: XXXXX YYYYY Family Name: ZZZZZ However on my I797A, the Beneficiary Name is ZZZZZ, XXXXX Y. On the departure record, First(Given) Name: XXXXX and Family Name: ZZZZZ My H-1B petition was correctly submitted showing my full name exactly as it appears on the passport. 1. I wanted to know if this is going to affect me when I go for stamping. 2. When the visa is granted, will then name on the visa is going to be according to the passport or will it be according to the i797A. If its later, then there is going to be a difference in the name on the passport and on the visa. 3. Could this be because I have a long name and it didn't fit into the space available. The number of characters in my name: XXXXX: 10 YYYYY: 9 ZZZZZ: 5. Link to comment
Attorney_11 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Visas are issued in the name listed on the passport. It appears that the slight difference in the name on the approval notice stems from the length of the name that is the subject of the petition. Link to comment
liyaqat Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Thank you for your response. Do you think this will be a matter of concern for my visa or at the immigration while entering US? Link to comment
