Here is the link to a press release from the US Embassy in Ghana. Emphasis has been placed once again on mistakes in DOB, names etc during the DV entry. I once asked a question about not including my fourth name in the entry because only three spaces were provided during the entry (first name, middle name, family name). DS 260 however allows you to enter all names as they appear in your passport. Does anyone know exactly what happens with the differences in names, how does the Embassy in Ghana treat such scenarios?

Here is the scenario, name used for dv entry, David Boakye Mensah. Name in passport, David Boakye Kofi Mensah, same name was used to fill in the DS 260. Will the omission of Kofi in the initial entry cause problems during the interview? @Britsimon?

Please when was that and how much did the hepatitis b test cost

will in all I paid 80gh.. that was around 15th of September.
I was due to take my second injection before I went for the medicals test..but I know the medical fees have been reduced due to the cedi to dollar rates depreciation. .

Please how much is a dollar when buying? Hepatitis B, is it mandatory

I think now is about 3.1gh=1 $..back then it was 3.8gh=1 $

yh is mandatory but u can do all during the medical exam. .

 

[jay_on_ice]

Affidavit will mean changing your name or?

no it does not mean change of name. .it jux means that the name u have n the one u omitted is the same n that u are willing to face the law if u are trying to impersonate someone else..

but i thought that when filling the DS 260 there is an option that allows you to add other names you have used b4?

That shouldn't be a problem and you don't need an affidavit for this. What you should have done though is to have listed Kofi on the DS form, there's a section on the form for all other names used, which takes care of things like this.

 

[Sm1smom]

Please how much will it cost going for the affidavit? Cos my name on the initial entry is different from what is on my passport.

Different in what sense? Give an illustration like @guykofi did in order to get an accurate input from others.

I think is abt 60gh at the high Court. .in Accra.

Thanks @F-Lan and @Sm1smom, I entered the omitted name on the DS-260 where they asked for full name as it appears in the passport. Anyways I hope it doesn't come back to bite where it hurts most during the interview.

If you already did that then there's nothing to worry about and just to reiterate what I wrote earlier, you don't need an affidavit in this case.

but per what scratch wrote he omitted "kofi" on his ds 260. .and with that he will needs an affidavit..

 

[jay_on_ice]

I didn't omit anything on the ds260
My name as it appears on the passport is what I provided. I was talking about the entry name being different from what's in the passport. In the other names used field i provided what i used during the initial entry

oh ok then I misread what u wrote then u are ok..

 

[Sm1smom]

No, @scratch did not write that, @guykofi is the one who stated that he did not include "Kofi" on the eDV application. And going by his explanation Kofi is not even his first name. He does not need an affidavit to prove that it is one of his names. He listed it on the DS torn, so he should be okay!
