Asked in Immigration Law for New York

Q: filled for an i130 that is approved and send to national visa center. But I made a mistake on the beneficiary’s name

I called the USCIS but they are saying the case is already send to nvc. I spoke to 2 immigration attorneys they are saying to just correct the name on the ds-260. And also summit an inquiry with the supporting to the nvc. But I wanted to ask here just to be sure I’m taking the right steps.

A: This is something that can happen. Now, that it has, your only choice is to work through the National Visa Center and consular officials. If you are uncomfortable with the situation, and don't know what to do, then you may want to schedule an appointment or teleconference to discuss the oversight with a competent and ethically considerate immigration attorney. This, to avoid any other complications.
