My wife has CORRECT LAST NAME on PASSPORT(indian), STATE ID (state B) and i-797, but as we moved to a different State C, and went to get the driving permit test done for her, the DMV people said that IMMIGRATION RECORDS has her LAST NAME AS: there was 1 WRONG ALPHABET in her LAST NAME ---> THEY SAID PLEASE contact USCIS to get it CORRECTED

 

I told them aren't you guys using the SAME IMMIGRATION DATABASE SYSTEM to check for NAME's as this state ID (from state B) that she has the CORRECT LAST NAME, she DID NOT reply to that (being politically correct of-course).

 

I read this link: people are saying only time you can have your NAME change done is during AOS ? (Adhustment of status) ? So if she jumps to F1, only then we can have it changed ?

This is not a name change. If you do not seriously want to involve a Lawyer who will know many more ways to deal with the situation, it would be serious mistake. Go back and apply again. If no joy ask calmly and specifically to speak to a supervisor. Ask the Supervisor what will make the matter go away and how. PC or BS has nothing to do with the matter. As a matter of Interest which state is involved?

Isn't learning from others experiences a good thing (Well yeah i know immigration is an individual's ball game but certain procedures apply to all --> that's why i am not risking the excruciating pain of driving 600 miles and then hear a NO, we can;t do it now statement"
