  • Wrong Name on I-797

    Friends,

    I have my H1 renewed and received my approved I-797. I have noticed that my middle name and last name are swapped. Now, I asked my employer to file an amendment for this and they already did. But, the INS didn't respond to this yet.

    I wanted to get my visa stamped in November in Canada. Is it safe to go with the approved I-797 and the request filed with INS for this amendment?

    Any insight on this is much apprecciated. Thanks!!

        I am sailing in the same boat ( wrong name on my H-1B)

        My last name is mispelled, I am struck, donno whether I go for Canada stamping.

        I have called uscis couple of times and they have provided an emergency fax no. My company did sent many requests to them, no response so far.

        Unfortunately, I payed premium for my H-1 and now its been more than 2 months.

          it might be a little too late for me to reply to this...but I still do it anyway as it might help others...

          I contacted my employer and asked them to chase this issue down...they called USCIS several times and send out a fax describing the problem to USCIS..

          i got a corrected 797 with in next couple of weeks

          (the flip side of the story, since I booked the H1 appt long before I decided to go with the wrong name itself and my H1 stamping was successful. By the way, my h1 is a renewal not a first time h1 stamping)
