Hi,
I had recently changed employers and my new employer filed for H1B , which was approved as well.But i have noticed a typo in the my lastname , do we need to go through the whole filing process again to amend the H1 or a letter addressed to BCIS with the error will fix the matter.
Please help, As i need to send the copy of the approval to my wife in india to get her stamped will there be any issues if she goes with a typo in the I-797 and i fix this lateron..?

Thanks in advance

letter addressed to BCIS with the error will fix the matter.

This is the info from VSC Murthy Law office posted it read this:

VSC was asked how it responds to inquiries from the National Customer Service Center (NCSC) from people who have not received receipt notices for cases that they have filed. There are reported problems of people having been told by the NCSC that they cannot help them unless they have a receipt number.

The VSC stated that non-receipt of receipt notices is a category that was established from the beginning as one that should be referred for further assistance from the NCSC to the VSC. The NCSC is supposed to take the request, after asking the caller to examine the cancelled fee payment check to see whether a receipt number has been indicated on the check. The VSC promised to review the procedures for this situation.

Approvals or EADs with Errors

People often receive approval notices or employment authorization documents (EADs) on which errors have been made by the CIS. We most frequently see typographical errors resulting in the misspelling of names. We also see mistakes in the categories (such as an L-1 instead of an H1B, or approving the H-4 dependent spouse for an H1B), and wrong photos on the EADs (often switching the husband's photo with the wife's). This can be quite frustrating. The VSC has stated that they will handle requests for corrections on an expedited basis and waive any applicable fees.

RFE Delays

VSC was asked about lengthy delays in receiving Requests for Evidence (RFEs). They replied that RFEs are mailed within one business day of the RFE date. They said that they audit the process and have been meeting this one-day timeframe over the past several months. We at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy do not see many RFEs from VSC that take extraordinary periods to reach us. We are aware that there have been instances of RFEs seemingly getting lost in the mail, so that it becomes necessary to request a reissued RFE.

Thanks for the info..
At this time i do not know whether the attorney made the mistake or the BCIS. I have to proceed per attorney's advice.
Looks like it might take same time similar to new petition if its attorney's mistake.

Thanks
