Non-matching of name

I applied with a name but it differs from that on my passport. I got the acceptance, my question is; can I correct the name in the DV-260 form, or I have to change my passport.

The full name? The first name? Middle or last name? Precisely what does not match?

You need to provide more information about your issue for better guidance.

Your identity is established first by your birth certificate and then by your passport. Usually those two documents should match your legal name and that is what you should have used for the eDV and DS260.

So - match the DS260 to the BC/Passport. Presumably all your other documents match your current passport. So you don't change the passport and throw everything else off.

How different is the name and at which embassy will you interview?

in the Middle name there is space error (Abd altawab instead of Abdaltawab), and in the last name (Mohamed instead of MohammedAli). By the way I wrote my third name as the last name.

Your interview will be where you live. Are you in KSA or Sudan at present?
