Visa rejected due to wrong name in passport, what to do next.

[ashek1520]

Hi,
My brother is planning to visit me in Canada.
He applied for visitor visa, but while applying in the vfs office, the officer there found out that the name in his passport was not correct.
His name is :
first name: abhi, last name: kumar
in his passport his name was: first name: abhi kumar, last name: <nothing>
Even my brother had not noticed this mistake before.
The VFS office suggested to refill the form with first name as "abhi kumar" and leave the last name empty.
He had also submitted other supporting documents including air ticket(both way), his income tax return, salary stub of his current job in India. All the documents had his correct name, first name: Abhi, last name: Kumar
His visa has been rejected, the reason cited are :
1. travel history, however he has not make any foreign travel
2. No salary information, he had provided his tax returns.

I believe the cause of reject is the name in the application did not match with the name in supporting documents. This might have caused confusion. Please let me know if you think the cause can be something else.

He has gotten his passport corrected now and he is planning to apply again.
In the application, there is place where u need to tell if you have applied before. based on this information, visa office shall see two names.
What should we do for that. Should we attach some other document to support that the earlier name was incorrect.

Thanks,

Hi,

An incorrect name (which is not really the case for your brother) is not a reason for a refusal.... unless the applicant's name in the TRV application form is very different from the passport name.

As his TRV refusal states Travel History and Lack of financial documents (pay slips).... these are the reasons for refusal.

Your brother must provide adequate reasons/evidence to prove that he will return to India after his visit + prove he has the finances to support his visit.

While the ITR confirms he is a tax payer, it does not cover his current financial situation.... hence, your brother must submit the latest 6 months' payslips + employment letter + last 6 months bank statements + proofs of financial investments (if any), etc

In the application, there is place where u need to tell if you have applied before. based on this information, visa office shall see two names.
What should we do for that. Should we attach some other document to support that the earlier name was incorrect.

He must state he has a previous TRV refusal.

He must also explain the different passport names for these two applications along with the passport numbers and issue details/copy of any affidavit submitted to the passport office for correcting the surname field/birth certificate, etc


Hope this helps

what ever your informal names or names used else where; when you apply for visa your name in forms should match with what ever written in passport, the officers know how name variation goes in subcontinent, date of birth and place of birth also support your ids

His visa has been rejected, the reason cited are :
1. travel history, however he has not make any foreign travel
2. No salary information, he had provided his tax returns.

He needs to show his own bank balance to support him through the visit time in Canada and also show no objection letter from his employer to prove that he will return to continue his job.
