Inviting In-Laws

[ashacal]

Hi All,

I am planning to invite my in-laws this year( September). In my wife's passport, (her) father's name is different than what it is in his (father-in-law's )passport .

As i will be sending copies of her passport along with mine, will there be any problems ?

I don't know if they would look into the names in the passports.

As nothing can be changed in my wife's passport now, i was wondering if there is anything that could be done in India with my father-in-law's passport.

Can he get a letter or something like that from some office in India that shows that his name in my wife's passport is an alias or something like that ?

Please advice !

Regards
Ashi

Any pp office India can endorse name changes on the existing pp itself provided it is only a correction and not a legal change of name. You must show sufficient documentation for getting the endorsment done.

The process takes just 2-3 days. You can get ur father in law's pp endorsed if the one ur wife has is the correct name.
If it's just the order of names that is incorrect for eg - first name in place of middle name , etc - my best bet is that u shouldn't have any probs no need to do anything - my parents got 10 yr visa just last month.

On my pp my dad's name too is slightly different (just the order) from what it is on his actual passport. This name order mismatch is quite common.
all the best.

we had somewhat similar problem,when we invited my father.

My father's name is mis-spelled in my passport...

My husband sponsered him.

We didn't try to change anything either in my passport or my father's passport for applying visa.

The consulate people didn't even make a notice of it...
he got the visa...

but it happened in early 2000,before 9/11...,now ?


so,its better to have some notary signed affidavit for alias name or
what ronline wrote looks correct...

check it out....
