Discrepancy in Father's Name | UK Tier-2 visa

score:6

Accepted answer

Most people know that transliterations may be different, and that Waseem and Wasim are two ways of spelling the same name. In particular, different systems of transliteration fall in and out of favor, which may account for the different spelling on your father's documents.

You may not be able to get the spelling changed on your documents since the transliteration system may be official. In any event, I suspect that it would be far more trouble than it's worth.

If your parents want to visit you, they will prove their relationship to you, if necessary, with your birth certificate, accompanied by a certified translation. They will include in their visa application an explanation of the reason for the different spelling. It surely won't be the first time this has happened, and it will not have an adverse effect on the application.

If you're considering asking a professional expert, you should ask a solicitor in the UK. We're just a bunch of people on the net.

Anyone anywhere can call themselves a "UK immigration advisor" but this is a title without licensing or qualifications. A good place to find a qualified solicitor is ilpa.org.uk
