Hello guys I have my interview in January.
I have registered carrier drop off location.
So I made a mistake by the time I was filling the registration in place of writing my given name as john bolton, I wrote only John.
So what shall I do if I want to change my name error I have to cancel my appointment and I don't want do that since it delays my case.
Or shall I take this latter as it in my interview date since this latter is for the DHL location that I choose and name doesn't matter in my opinion,because they will only ask if I register carrier drop off location if and only if I pass the interview and I prepare my hole documents I have this issue only.
But who know I would appreciate if you help me
Thank you guys.

We made a similar mistake -- mistyped last and first names for my husband (put his last name instead of the first one) apparently it was a mistake, cancelling it could've cancelled our interview. We called the support of that mailing service of the consulate -- and they were able to change it without the interview cancellation.

I would've. But also, please don't take my advice as an obligation. We, personally, didn't want to have any hassle or get disqualified (who knows) based on some stupid typo-mistake though it wasn't critical, but I'm not saying that you have to have it corrected or there will be any trouble if you don't notify them. I would imagine since there are many Johns living in your city, they might need your surname when you go there to pick your passport up. I can't predict the outcome, right lol

Try to call and see what they can do, and if they can correct it, and go from there.

Lol, I hope I didn't mess it up. I am pretty sure I entered all the dependents.

This is from their official site:
Prior to your visa interview, we recommend that you review the data on your initial E-DV entry. On your initial E-DV application, you must have correctly entered your marital status. If you are legally married you must have listed your spouse, even if you are currently separated from him/her (unless your spouse is a U.S. citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident).

Additionally, you must have listed ALL of your living children who are unmarried and under 21 years old. This includes your natural children, your spouse’s children, or children you have formally adopted in accordance with the laws of your country.

1. No, you can go anywhere you want.
2. No, they were supposed to start requiring signatures for green card delivery but as far as i know that’s not happening yet. Obviously you trust the person whose address it is to get the card to you/keep it for you! You can also change the address you want the card sent to when you enter the US, by telling the CBP officer who processes your immigrant visa.

Hello friends. I have a question: I have realised that the airport of my last destination is not the first port of entry.

1. I will have to deliver the package and finish immigration issues at the first POE or at the port of destination?

2. If it is the first POE how many hours/minutes this process can take so that I don't miss my domestic flight?
(The first POE is Chicago)
