Hi All,
I have recently joined with new Employer. The name in my pay stubs issued by new employer has some spelling mistakes and doesn't match with the name in VISA and Passport. I have escalated to my Employer and they say that they will issue new pay checks with correct name. How ever I would like to know

- Does it causes any issues related VISA and Green Card processing?
- If yes what is the remedy for it?

Thanks and Regards,
BV Ramesh Babu

Get the pay stubs with your actual name.

 Hi jairichi,

                I have a similar issue. My H1B was approved last year and just last month I noticed that I was receiving paystubs from the sister company. So basically my visa was approved for XYZ.america but paystub has company name as XYZ.us

 
Both XYZ.america and XYZ.us have same address but they do have different EIN. My attorney asked the HR to change my payroll immediately to XYZ.america and they did. Now I am receiving paystub from XYZ.america which matches my I-797. But because of this miscommunication, I will be now receiving two W2 for the year 2015. 
 
Meanwhile I am transferring my H1B to a new company and then planning for Visa Stamping in December. Do you think the Visa Officer will question about the issue of paystubs with my previous company? 
 
Do you have any advice on how to move forward safely on this matter?
