My husband received his visa back today. I thought this was great news until he told me that they spelled his name wrong. We waited 1 month to get his passport back and now he will bring it back this morning. Has this happened to anyone before? His visa expires april 19, he put a ticket on hold until today for tuesday and I took 12 days off work to be with him and now I dont even know if that is going to work out. My MP is going to hear about this long and frustrating process. You would think the information is right there in front of them, such an important document you think they would check and double check before sending it. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
 
TELL UR HUBBY TO GO TO THE LOCAL OFFICE FROM WHERE HE GOT THE PASSPORT. THEY WILL CORRECT IT.. NOT A BIG DEAL
 
Yes, stuff like this happens unfortunately. There was a similiar case at New Delhi where the name was wrong. The applicant immediately caught a plane to New Delhi and visited the embassy, explained her problem and showed the tickets and the officer took her passport, cancelled that visa and stamped her a correct one. All of this took a couple of hours. So I'm hoping that your visa office follows the same protocol. Or maybe you could write to them, and mail out your passport and everything, but that will definitely take you more time.
 
Hi guys I just wanted to tell you everthing turned out ok 8). My husbands name is too long and they said there was not enough room, however his landing documents have the correct information. So, if this happens to someone else in the future this is why. Don't panic like me lol My husband bought his ticket this morning and will be her on Tuesday. I am more than excited and can't wait to see him again in person instead of on a screen. I will continue to pray for all those who are still waiting to hear news. Inshallah it will not be too long. :)

awesome news, thanks for sharing! I'm almost certain I will have the same problem when we receive the visa and now i know not to worry :)
 
I am glad that this information will help someone not stress out, like I did. My husband will be here tomorrow and I cant wait. I wish everyone a fast and happy finish. :-*
