In my Finger print notice, my middle name is spelled as 'Anthony' instead of 'Antony' (no 'h'). Is there a way to correct this ?

My Finger print is scheduled for next week.

If you have any experience, please share.

Thanks

Does the I-485 receipt have the correct name? Did the form I-485 which you sent in have the right spelling?

You can't correct anything in time for the fingerprint appointment. But you may have other problems if USCIS is handling the rest of your I-485 processing with the wrong name, so you need to find out what name is attached to your I-485.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Sorry I didn't make it clear this is not related to GC processing but for Naturalization (Citizenship). I checked the form and the receipt for N-400 and it is correctly spelled and abbreviated in the respective forms.
 
Sorry, I was browsing multiple sections of the forum and forgot that I wasn't in the green cards section at the time I posted.
 
I tried calling USCIS to get it corrected, I couldn't reach the representative any thoughts how to reach the representative.

There should be an option on the (800) line that you can choose to correct the mistakes on your notices. Also, sometimes during the FP appointment the FP rep will show you the screen with your info and ask you if everything is correct. I was given the option to request the change then, if needed.
 
I was not given the option to correct it at the time of Finger printing. 800 line never takes me to a live representative :(

I was planning to send a mail to USCIS to get this corrected. Has any one done this ? If so any thing to look after.

Thanks

Address the issue at the time of the interview. Check with the interviewer about the name spelling they have on record and make sure to bring your birth certificate as USCIS considers that to be the primary proof of your legal name. If USCIS has it wrong the interviewer can correct it. Some had a misspelled or missing name through their entire immigration history from work visa to green card and then at the interview they finally got it corrected to match their birth certificate, and the naturalization certificate gets printed with all the correct names and spelling.
