Question about correction in immigration forms


Hi All,

I am not sure about I should ask this question here but since the information that I had read and received from here has been helpful and so I trust this forum a lot

Suzanne, your initiative in helping others understand the different policies to different people is much appreciated. Hats off to you!!!

My question is as follows:

My husband's parents are already here in US as lawful permanenet residents. They have applied for my husband's GC petition back in 2005 under unmarried Son category. This was filed back in 2005. Recently we happened to notice that in the petition my husband's name is mentioned in the wrong order.

In my husband's passport it is mentioned in the following way:

Last Name: Mathews Raju

Given Name: Anup

So in the I 797 notice of action it should have been shown as "Mathews Raju, Anup" but it is shown as "Raju, Anup M."

This could be an error from our side because at the time when we filled the form we just went by what was there in the form instead of filling it as per the passport.

Can this be corrected? Will it lead to a complete refiling of the petition leading to a new priority date?

Please help...

Just contact the attorney that did the filing for you and they can get it corrected. It will not change the dates at all.

And thank you for the very lovely note.

Hi Suzanne,
Thank you for the reply...That gives some relief at one end. Now I will be appearing for my RN exam. How long is the license valid? Like I am planning to go out to another country to work for the time being after getting my RN license so that I could get more experience.

But I wanted to know how long the license will be valid.

I am appearing for my exam through Vermont probably by the end of June.

will I be able to renew it even if I do not have an SSN. (Right now I am here on H4 visa)

Most licenses are valid for two year period, but VT does group licensure renewals every two years, so depends on where they are in the cycle. It could be just a few months and you would need to renew. You will have to check with them.

VT currently permits one to renew without a SSN#, but do not know if that will be the case when it is time to renew. But do not worry, as long as the license has been issued, you will be able to update it when you return to the US as your license will just go to inactive or expired category; but you will not need to retake the NCLEX exam.

Best of luck on your exam.
