FNU Name change in L2 visa petition

[pnauhwar21]

All,

I want to get my Wife’s name (FNU case) corrected in the L2 petition. What is the process for that? I have read that a Visa amendment needs to be filed but didn’t find any such amendment form on USCIS site.

She only had her first name in the passport hence both the petition and I-94 had her name as FNU HERFIRSTNAME. I am planning to get her name corrected in passport first by applying for a new passport at consulate. Afer that, need to get her name corrected in the L2 visa petition. I-94 should get corrected when we re-enter US next year as current one is already expired.

Has anyone got the visa petition corrected? Please let me know the process. Appreciate help from everyone.

Thanks,
Prashant

I had the same issue. Because in my passport surname was missing ( not missing but it was added at the end of my first name) that triggered an FNU in H1 visa.
But in my h1 petition it came out ok. and in I-94 i wrote my name correctly. so that was not an issue. and DL and SSN it came out OK based on I-94.

i corrected it in my passport first. then during H1 visa renewal it got corrected automatically.

even though you have FNU in visa, mention your name correctly in your I-94. otherwise every official document(SSN, DL etc.,) will have FNU as your first name. My friend suffered a lot
because of this issue and he had to go back to india and come back with right I-94 and corrected the rest of the documents later.

Hope that helps.
