Urgent-Misprint of name in passport and H1-B visa stamping

[krishna_gopal77]

I really need your help.
My name in the Passport is as follows
Surname
-
Given Names
Gopal krishna

My first name is Krishna and last name is Gopal. When I applied for my H1-B visa the lawyer filed my name as Gopal, Krishna.
Now I need to go India on an emergency visit to see my cousin who is not well. So I have to get my H1-B stamping done in Chennai.
I was really concerned because my name in my passport is misprinted and it differs from my name in my H1-B visa petition.
So I went to the Indian embassy in NY today. They asked me to post 2 Ad's for Change in Name in the newspaper one in USA and the other in the place of residence in India. After 30 days they asked me to fill a Change in Name form and submit my passport.
I called the New York Classified #'s and they said that I need to have a legal document from the court which gives me the Index #. I called the concerned people in the court and they say that my name has not changed and shall not provide me with a document.

I need to go to India urgently and I am not sure whether this shall create a problem for my H1-B stamping.
Kindly please advise what should I do and how could I Change my misprinted name in the passport. Can this be done in India.

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot.
